Background

Ermonel Budo is a Research Assistant in Propulsion System Simulation within the Centre for Aeronautics, Propulsion and Power at ³ÉÈËÖ±²¥, based at the Rolls-Royce University Technology Centre in Aero Systems Design, Integration and Performance. His research focuses on the modelling and performance analysis of conventional and next-generation gas turbine configurations, as well as the multi-disciplinary design of advanced propulsion systems, contributing to the transition towards sustainable, low-emission aviation. His work supports the development of simulation frameworks for future aero-engine architectures, alongside the implementation and validation of physics-based solvers to predict dynamic engine response at both component and system levels under fast transients and extreme off-design conditions.
