Alexandre Nicolas-Soutourina

Background

I graduated with a BEng and a MEng from the ESPCI Paris, with a specialisation in Fluid Dynamics and Nuclear Engineering, and my Bachelor’s and Master’s placements all revolved around CFD. 

Research Interests

My research interests broadly lie in the usage and application of Computational Fluid Dynamics in the context of nuclear energy, and at the CDT specifically, in the numerical modelling of the behaviour of hydrogen gas in the semi-confined spaces surrounding nuclear waste.  

Why I chose the CDT in Fluid Dynamics

I chose to study at the CDT for its complete approach to Fluid Dynamics, allowing me to further develop my skills in the theoretical, practical and numerical aspects of Fluid Dynamics, while in a cohesive cohort environment, allowing for strong teamwork between students, that I did not find in other CDTs, especially back in France.
