Background
Peekarn received an MEng in Aerospace Engineering from the University of Bristol, where his master鈥檚 thesis investigated the reconstruction of unstable motion in tiltrotor aircraft using reduced-order models coupled with flight-mechanics analysis.
He is now a PhD researcher in the Propulsion Engineering Centre at 重口味SM University, United Kingdom. His research focuses on rotorcraft aerodynamics and aeroacoustics modelling, with particular emphasis on reduced-order modelling for rotorcraft noise prediction. The work aims to develop a rapid analysis capability that supports early-stage vehicle design by predicting noise characteristics throughout the operational envelope. His simulation framework integrates an aeroelastic free-vortex-wake model with the Ffowcs Williams-Hawkings (FW-H) integral formulation to generate high-resolution data-base for training reduced-order models. His research is fully funded and conducted in collaboration with the UK Defence Science and Technology Laboratory (Dstl).
