Dr Suleyman Duman
CFD Specialist · Naval Architect & Marine Engineer
About Me
Dynamic researcher with a strong academic background
in Naval Architecture and Marine Engineering (PhD, MSc, BSc)
and extensive international experience in high-fidelity CFD and multiphysics modelling.
I have contributed to major EU Horizon2020 and Innovate UK programmes,
applying advanced CFD simulation and digital-twin methods to complex fluid-mechanics problems.
I was awarded the prestigious Global Talent Visa
by the Royal Academy of Engineering in recognition of my contributions
to the field of fluid mechanics.
I currently serve as Chief Technology Officer at Econavis Solutions,
an R&D company developing sustainable propulsion and zero-emission marine technologies.
Alongside this role, my academic background includes appointments as
Research Associate at the University of Strathclyde,
Lecturer and Research Assistant at Yildiz Technical University.
Through projects such as the EU Horizon 2020 TrAM initiative and
the Innovate UK Eco Boss Cap programme, I have contributed to the design of
digital-twin frameworks and advanced propulsion concepts supporting the transition to net-zero transport.
