Background
Peekarn received an MEng in Aerospace Engineering from the University of Bristol, where his master鈥檚 thesis investigated the reconstruction of unstable motion in tiltrotor aircraft using reduced-order models coupled with flight-mechanics analysis.
He is now a PhD researcher in the Propulsion Engineering Centre at 情色五月天, United Kingdom. His research focuses on rotorcraft aerodynamics and aeroacoustics modelling, with particular emphasis on reduced-order modelling for rotorcraft noise prediction. The work aims to develop a rapid analysis capability that supports early-stage vehicle design by predicting noise characteristics throughout the operational envelope. His research involves the development of a rotorcraft aeromechanics and acoustics computational framework for investigating vehicle-level noise interactions, including main-rotor/tail-rotor aerodynamic interaction, fuselage effects, and additional vehicle-installed noise sources.
His PhD is fully funded by the Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council (EPSRC) and the Defence and Science Laboratory (Dstl) in the UK, and is conducted in collaboration with Dstl.
