Optimising for speed as an ex-F1 CFD engineer

Mohamed Aly Sayed, will start by introducing what Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) is, share some use cases of where it is applied in industry, and provide some examples of how CFD is leveraged in F1 to improve performance. He finishes on a personal reflection — what matters more: the engineering challenge or the character of the individuals in the team. Mohamed holds a PhD in particle tracking & turbulence monitoring from EPFL. He has worked at both ends of the loop as a CFD engineer in F1: the simulations that come before anything is built, and observed the real-world testing that decides whether the simulation was right.
