Profile

Asst. Prof. Dr. Hatim Alotaibi

Dr. Hatim Alotaibi is currently a Research Assistant Professor in Aerospace Engineering (Specialised in Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD)) at King Abdulaziz City for Science and Technology (KACST). Alotaibi received his B.A.Sc. (2016) in Industrial Systems Engineering from University of Regina (Canada), MSc (2019) in Aeronautical Engineering from The Hong Kong University of Science and Technology (Hong Kong), and PhD (2023) in Aerospace Engineering from the University of Manchester (United Kingdom). Alotaibi’s research focuses at using a combination of modelling, theory and simulation to study “ advanced materials and manufacturing processes ” that are complex due to multiscale nature of materials, the rheology of fluid, and multiphysics phenomena in which the interactions of various effects (thermal, chemical, electric or mechanical) lead to complex dynamics. His research is motivated by processing and manufacturing of different materials for aerospace structures and energy storage materials.)
