Dr. Tsinuel Geleta is a researcher specialising in wind engineering with a focus on Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) and its application to wind-structure interaction problems. He has extensive experience using OpenFOAM on high-performance computing (HPC) systems and develops efficient workflows for post-processing large-scale simulation and experimental datasets using Python and MATLAB. His work bridges computational and experimental approaches, including the processing of wind tunnel and field-measured velocity and pressure data, with an emphasis on advancing best practices for data handling, analysis, and dissemination. Dr. Geleta has contributed to national and international discussions on wind engineering standards, and is actively engaged in open science through the development of tools and datasets for the broader research community.
