Muhammad Salman Siddiqui

M. Salman Siddiqui is currently an Associate Professor at the Faculty of Science and Technology (REALTEK) at the Norwegian University of Life Sciences (NMBU). He holds a Bachelor's and Master's degree in Mechanical Engineering from the National University of Sciences and Technology (NUST), which he received in 2010 and 2012 respectively, and a Ph.D. in Applied Mathematics from the Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU), which he received in 2018.

Prior to his current position, he worked as a postdoctoral research fellow at the Faculty of Architecture and Design from 2019 to 2021, and as a research scientist at the Faculty of Information Technology and Electrical Engineering at NTNU from 2018 to 2019. He has also collaborated on various projects as an adjunct research scientist with SINTEF's Computational Science and Engineering group in Trondheim from 2015 to 2019. In addition, he has served as a university lecturer at the Department of Mechanical Engineering at Air University (AU) from 2012 to 2015, and at HITEC University from 2010 to 2012.

Dr. Siddiqui's research activities are focused on numerical and computational fluid dynamics investigations of engineering systems, design and development of software for aerodynamic assessment of offshore wind turbines, modeling and simulation of renewable energy resource harvesting, tank design for aquaculture, experimental assessment of heating and cooling technologies in energy-efficient buildings, and development of reduced-order models, multi-scale models and physics-based models.

He is a co-author of more than fifty scientific publications in internationally recognized peer-reviewed journals and conference proceedings. He is an active member of various organizations, including Elsevier, Scopus, the American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), and the American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics (AIAA), and regularly reviews scientific articles, book chapters, and project proposals in the field of wind energy, computational fluid dynamics, energy, and environment.
