Hi, I am

Saikat Pradhan

Space & Mechanical Engineer

About Me

I am a space engineering student with a strong foundation in mechanical engineering, specializing in computational analysis and experimental validation. My work spans from nonlinear FEM analysis of industrial components to aerothermal CFD simulations of aerospace vehicles.

Currently based in Bremen, Germany, I combine academic research with industry experience, having worked on projects ranging from rocket design with ASTRA e.V. to valve optimization at Danfoss. This blend of theoretical knowledge and hands-on experience allows me to approach engineering challenges with both analytical depth and practical insight.

My technical interests center on structural analysis, thermal management, and fluid dynamics—particularly in aerospace applications where precision and reliability are paramount.
