David Oliver Cortadellas

Machine Learning Engineer at Ryff

David Oliver Cortadellas has extensive experience in the field of engineering, with a focus on mechanical design and research. David has worked in various roles and companies, starting with GE in 2013 as a Mechanical Design Engineer, where they gained experience in designing pressure sensors for aircraft systems. David then moved to ITP Aero in 2015, working as a Mechanical Design Engineer on a consultancy project to design an aircraft engine certification experiment. Here, they conducted structural simulations and managed the overall assembly of parts.

In 2017, David joined Loughborough University as a Doctoral Researcher, where they focused on reducing pollutant emissions in Rolls-Royce aero-engine combustors. David conducted simulations and experiments to collect highly chaotic data, developed data visualization and manipulation techniques, and optimized data characterization methods. Their achievements include creating an algorithm that predicts combustor emissions performance and proposing a combustor design modification that reduced emissions by up to 60%. David also worked as a Research Assistant at Loughborough University, where they designed a high-pressure and temperature test facility for measuring contact angles of aerospace fuel droplets, developed software for droplet contact angle measurement, and conducted structural design work. Additionally, David served as a Teaching Assistant, supervising undergraduate tutorial sessions and laboratory experiments for Aeronautical Engineering students.

Most recently, David joined Ryff as a Machine Learning Engineer in 2021.

David Oliver Cortadellas completed their education in a chronological order. David started their educational journey in 2011 at Loughborough University, where they pursued a Bachelor's degree in Aeronautical Engineering. David successfully completed their Master of Engineering (MEng) degree in Aeronautical Engineering in 2016.

In the same year, they attended Technische Universität Dresden as part of the Erasmus programme, where they focused on aeronautical engineering. Subsequently, in 2016, they enrolled at the University of Cambridge for a Master in Research (MRes) degree, specializing in Gas Turbine Aerodynamics.

David continued their education at Loughborough University, commencing their Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) program in 2017. Their research, which was funded by Rolls-Royce, examined the topic of gas turbine pollutant emissions. This program spanned from 2017 to 2021.
