James Jamieson is currently a Senior Design Engineer with Prior PLM Medical based in the Northwest of Ireland. His original qualifications were bachelors degrees in Mechanical Engineering and Computer Science and has spent the last 25 years developing new products for the automotive, consumer appliance and medical device sectors.
His slightly “unhealthy” liking for Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) was started with modelling of airflows in vehicle climate control systems.
Currently his main research focus has been on trying to develop CFD-DEM models (CFD coupled with Discrete Element Modelling of particles), that better reflect the reality of Dry Powder Inhaler device testing that will hopefully lead to improved device performance but also, better device model outputs for potential use in in-silico lung modelling.
