Kobus van Rooyen is Awarded his Ph.D.

Many congratulations to Kobus van Rooyen. This is the first InCFD Ph.D. to graduate, and a special one at that. Kobus decided to leave industry after several years to pursue a Ph.D. in CFD and become a poor student again. This was a considerable sacrifice for him as well as his wife and daughter. To make matters worse, his topic changed dramatically from mesh generation to fan optimisation at the end of the first year (due a delay in funding). Despite this, Kobus never complained and kept focussed on finding the intersection between novel CFD research and the industrial fan industry. After 3.5 years of working with dedication and focus, success was achieved. Well done Kobus, we salute your incredible effort against so many odds.
