Biography

Dr Fadi Kahwash is a Lecturer in Mechanical Engineering at the School of Engineering & The Built Environment of the 麻豆社区. He teaches several modules in design and energy topics. He has obtained a PhD in Mechanical Engineering in 2018 from Northumbria University at Newcastle based on his research into novel numerical methods applied to modelling of machining composite materials.
Dr Kahwash鈥檚 research interests are varied (renewable technologies, energy storage, aerodynamics, materials and manufacturing) with common denominator of physics-based modelling/numerical methods. Prior to joining Napier University in 2021, he worked as research assistant then research fellow at Northumbria University, where he was involved in several EU funded projects related to renewable energy teaching (Erasmus+) and research (Horizon 2020).
