Mehrdad Zare

I am a Mechanical and Computational Engineer with 8+ years of combined industry and research experience in mechanical design, numerical simulation, scientific software development, and optimization.
My expertise includes:
Mechanical design, CAD, and design for manufacturing
FEA/CFD and structural, thermal, and fluid analysis
Failure investigation, root-cause analysis, fatigue, creep, and structural dynamics
ASME-based design, analysis, and engineering verification
Scientific programming, numerical algorithms, PDEs, and computational mechanics
Shape and topology optimization, computational geometry, and machine learning for engineering
Cloud computing, automation, and technical documentation
I have worked as a Design Engineer, Structural Analyst, CFD Engineer, and Technical Lead on industrial systems and process equipment. My projects include equipment failure analysis and redesign, transient multiphase CFD, flow-induced vibration, and thermal-fluid analysis.
My software experience includes developing finite-element formulations using isogeometric analysis, numerical solvers, shape-optimization algorithms, and topology-optimization software coupled with OpenFOAM for heat exchangers and heat-transfer applications.
I work with ANSYS, Fluent, SolidWorks, OpenFOAM, COMSOL, Abaqus, MATLAB, Python, C, and C++.
I deliver practical engineering solutions supported by calculations, simulations, and applicable standards, alongside modular, maintainable, and verifiable software. I can support your project from problem definition through implementation, verification, and final documentation.
