Analysis of electromechanical and industrial systems starting with fundamental physics.  Simulation of continuous and particulate materials primarily using OpenFOAM, the leading open source Computational Fluid Dynamics software.  Squeezing as much insight as possible from limited data.

Dr Jason Hoogland
Bio

I have a BSc in applied physics from Melbourne University (1993), a BE in mech engineering from UWA (1997) and a PhD in aerospace/mechanical engineering from The University of Queensland (2012).

I was the Australian and Reentry System lead for the Mars Gravity Biosatellite project (2003-2013) which involved MIT and the University of Washington and worked to test the effect of martian level gravity on mice inside a small spinning Earth orbitting satellite.  I was a Computational Fluid Dynamics consultant with BMT-WBM in Brisbane for 5 or so years, working with clients to model industrial processes such as sewage flows, vibrating screen slurries and exploding coal dust by pioneering use of OpenFOAM.  My PhD involved experimental and computational simulation of the ablation from sacrificial heat shields using  (at the time) the world's largest expansion tube wind tunnel.

I became a stay at home Dad in 2011 and have been developing software (Java, Go, Rust, Pony) and toying with electromechanical designs for a few consumer devices.  I'm looking to learn more about the R&D and startup scene in Perth, and enjoy being creative and entrepreneurial.
