Ashutosh Kulkarni

Simulation Engineer @ Evamo - Pump Technology Solutions

About

A self-driven, dynamic and solution-oriented individual with thorough knowledge and tested skills in the domain of CFD & FEA simulations. I have worked extensively with OpenFOAM and STARCCM+ as well as other numerical solvers, CAD & FE software tools (ANSYS, Inventor, NX etc.), Linux and HPC clusters. I also possess good programming skills in Python, JAVA and Bash. I strongly believe that simulation sciences are going to play crucial role in the sustainable development of technologies in the future and I wish to use my expertise for the same.
