Francisco Javier Fernández Fidalgo

PhD in Civil Engineering

Career summary


In October 2015 I finished my degree in Civil Engineering at the Universidade da Coruña (UDC), obtaining the highest grade in the final project.

In March 2016 I started my research career in the Numerical Methods in Engineering Group (GMNI) at UDC. My PhD thesis entitled "Computational simulation of compressible flows: A family of very efficient and highly accurate numerical methods based on Finite Differences" was supervised by Drs. Xesús Nogueira and Ignasi Colominas and focused on the development of new, accurate and efficient numerical schemes applied to Computational Fluid Dynamics problems. In November 2019 I obtained the maximum qualification of cum laude and international mention. 

I completed two predoctoral internships at the Universidade do Minho, Braga, Portugal under the direction of Dr. Stéphane Clain. These  internships received financial support through two competitive grants that I got. The first stay took place between February and March 2018 and was funded with an amount of 1600,00 € by the "Programa IACOBUS, de cooperación cultural, científica e pedagóxica entre as Universidades e os Centros de Ensino Superior da Eurorexión Galicia - Norte de Portugal". The second one took place between April and June of the same year and was funded with an amount of 2125,00€ by the "Axudas para Estadías Predoutorais INDITEX-UDC 2018". Both stays were carried out and contributed to the development of numerical methods applicable to my PhD research. 

Also, during the predoctoral stage I published my first scientific paper and I made 5 communications to international congresses and workshops to present the results of my research. In 2017 I participated as a speaker at the Congress of Numerical Methods in Engineering (CMN2017), held in Valencia, Spain. In 2018, in the seventh edition of the "European Conference on Computational Fluid Dynamics" (ECFD) held in Glasgow, UK. In 2019 I participated as a speaker in the workshop "Sharing Higher-order Advanced Know-how on Finite Volume" (SHARK-FV2019) and in the Congress on Numerical Methods in Engineering (CMN2019) held in Guimarães, Portugal.

I started my postdoctoral career at the Universidade da Coruña. During 2020 and early 2021 I continued developing my research work in the research lines defined in his thesis and continued with the publication of articles in JCR journals of high impact. 

From March to December 2021 he was working at the Polytechnic University of Madrid as a researcher in the area of porous media hydraulics.
