Dr MAHMOUD, Nasr, Research Scientist, email: m_nasr@nus.edu.sg
Background
Dr. Nasr, born in Egypt in 1992. He earned his bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering, 2014, and Master’s degree in Engineering Mathematics (Numerical methods and simulation), 2018, from Tanta University, Egypt. Subsequently, he pursued his PhD in Mechanical Engineering at the National University of Singapore (NUS) under the prestigious SINGA scholarship, successfully completing his doctoral studies in 2024. Dr. Nasr then joined Temasek Laboratories @ NUS in 2024 as a Research Scientist at the Centre of Aerodynamics and Propulsion, focusing on advanced computational fluid dynamics research. His research interests encompass a wide range of topics including flow control, airfoil design optimization, turbulent boundary layer flows, flight dynamics and control, and fluid-structure interaction. Apart from scientific interests, he is interested in playing football and traveling.
