Micheál O'Regan

Micheál O'Regan has worked in various engineering roles throughout their career. Micheál began their professional journey at Airbus as a Trainee Engineer in Air-Conditioning & Cabin Systems. Micheál then worked as a Lean Engineer at Stryker Orthopaedics, where they analyzed manufacturing processes and performed Six Sigma analysis.

Next, O'Regan joined the University of Limerick as a PhD researcher in Numerical and Experimental Aerodynamics. During this role, they investigated the development of a wing-tip vortex using experimental and numerical methods.

After completing their PhD, O'Regan joined the Marussia F1 Team as a Junior Aerodynamicist, where they designed aerodynamic bodywork concepts for the 2015 Marussia F1 chassis. Micheál was responsible for conducting CFD runs, wind tunnel tests, and analyzing the results.

Following their time at Marussia F1 Team, O'Regan worked at Dyson as a Fluid Dynamics Engineer, specializing in advanced applications. Micheál then joined Jaguar Land Rover, first as a CAE Engineer and later as a Lead Engineer, focusing on Thermal and Aerodynamics.

Currently, O'Regan is working at Polestar as a Senior Engineer in Aerodynamics & Thermal Attributes. Micheál is responsible for the development of these attributes in Polestar's UK Product Engineering Department. Micheál will soon transition into the role of Principal Engineer in the same domain.

Micheál O'Regan pursued a Bachelor of Engineering degree in Aeronautical Engineering from the University of Limerick from 2006 to 2010. Later, they obtained a Doctor of Philosophy (Ph.D.) in Numerical and Experimental Aerodynamics from the same university between 2010 and 2014.
