Portfolio

Hi, I'm Srivijayesh Venugopal, a CFD engineer bridging fluid dynamics, high-performance computing, and machine learning.

MSc Computational Fluid Dynamics student at Cranfield University. Dual-degree engineer (Physics + Mechanical) from BITS Pilani. I build simulation pipelines, surrogate models, and data-driven tools for aerodynamics and beyond.
