Mechanical & Aerospace Engineering

Biography

An accomplished professional aerospace engineer, Faustin Ondore earned his PhD from Brunel University London from aerodynamics research topic that entailed the use of a combination of experimental and numerical methods (Computational Fluid Dynamics) and successfully predicted separation in highly turbulent flows in a complex geometry. His is currently focused to the identification and development of a CFD model for a priori prediction of detachment (and reattachment) in flow domains of engineering and other interest. Also, since his appointment as Chairman of the Department of Aerospace and Aviation Engineering at the Technical University of Kenya, he is leading his department's efforts towards production and operation of the first Kenyan designed aircraft. Prior to that he worked in senior roles in the aerospace and defense sectors in the United Kingdom and other countries, where he has lectured in aerospace engineering in a number of universities and colleges.
