About Akash Asokan
I’m an Aero-Thermal Engineer specializing in thermal analysis of rocket nozzles, electronic subsystems for space and automotive applications. My work focuses on designing thermal protection systems (TPS) for rocket engine and passive thermal management solutions for extreme environments, particularly rarified atmospheres encountered in space missions.With hands-on experience using Ansys Fluent, CFX and AEDT IcePak and a strong foundation in computational fluid dynamics (CFD), I approach each project with a systems-level mindset — optimizing thermal performance while ensuring reliability and efficiency. I’ve also been exploring nozzle design, ice accretion studies, and other key topics in aerodynamics to broaden my capabilities.I enjoy turning complex thermal problems into practical engineering solutions. Open to collaborations, knowledge sharing, and opportunities in aerospace, automotive, and beyond.
