Safi Ahmed is a postdoctoral researcher at Kyungpook National University in South Korea, focusing on topology optimization of fluid flow problems using Mathematica. His interest in problems involving geometries, partial differential equations, and computations began in graduate school while studying coolants injected with phase change particles. His self-initiated projects include using Mathematica to model the solution of the spherical heat equation over melting particles.
In his postdoc, he is translating the mainstream algorithms of topology optimization of fluid flow problems into Wolfram Language from other programming languages. At the summer school, he aims to complete his existing topology optimization project under the guidance of mentors and gain the foundation for developing a Wolfram paclet in this field.
His dream company is Wolfram Research, where he hopes to integrate topology optimization techniques into the Wolfram Language and facilitate access to the Wolfram Language for emerging researchers in the field of topology optimization. His research goals include developing machine learning methods for partial differential equations.
