From Infrastructure Design to the Simulation of Extreme Phenomena
MSc Eng. Thiago Chahin is a mechanical engineer who combines extensive professional experience with advanced research in fluid mechanics and numerical computation.
Under the supervision of Prof. Krzysztof J. Wołosz, he investigates the role of bulk viscosity in missile flight across transonic to hypersonic regimes. His research focuses on irreversible physical processes, entropy generation, and shock-wave propagation, which are essential to modelling extreme gas-dynamic phenomena and advancing rocket and missile engineering.
Thiago has also actively participated in scientific events. During the 16th Forum for Mazovia’s Development, as part of the Warsaw Doctoral Forum, he presented a computational demonstration entitled “Can Warsaw Survive a Nuclear Explosion?”. Using fluid-flow simulations, he explored shock-wave propagation, the response of urban structures, and the vulnerability of infrastructure to the effects of an explosion.
Earlier, he also participated in the NATO event “Introduction to Quantum Computing in Fluid Dynamics”, held at the von Karman Institute in Belgium, which focused on the application of quantum computing to fluid mechanics.
Thiago has 20 years of professional experience across various industrial sectors, including energy, transportation, industrial automation, telecommunications, and the pharmaceutical industry. Before beginning his doctoral studies, he completed a Master's degree in Mechanical Engineering at the University of the State of Santa Catarina (UDESC) in Brazil, where he investigated numerical methods for applying quantum computing to fluid dynamics problems.
Congratulations on your achievements so far! We wish you every success in your ongoing research and future scientific endeavours!
