Dr. Shini Somara was awarded a Doctorate in Engineering in 2004 for her development of Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD), a digital simulation tool used by mechanical engineers to visualise how gases and liquids flow.

By predicting the behaviour of air around aircraft wings, Formula1 cars and buildings, (for example), CFD can help engineers optimise engineering design.

Shini specialised in fluid dynamics within "enclosed spaces" - which has been a focal point during the pandemic, where CFD was useful in understanding how air particles transport COVID19 in buildings.

Dr. Somara’s expertise in fluid dynamics has led her to speak at academic conferences on the ‘built environment’. She continues to speak and moderate panel discussions with experts, across a broad range of science and technology events.

Her passion, knowledge and fascination for innovation has led to multiple TV appearances as an engineering expert on Sky, Discovery, The Science Channel, UKTV, Yesterday Channels.

Since 2012, Dr. Somara has fronted several innovation television series, including The Health Show on BBC World News, TechKnow on Al Jazeera, Tomorrow’s Food on BBC1 and Razor on CGTN Europe.

The main objective of Shini's work today as a producer and broadcaster is to translate complex science and technology into engaging, accessible and informative content. Shini now broadcasts across all areas of science (including climate change, sustainability, health, food and energy) to popularises and democratise STEM. She wants to see more equality, diversity and inclusion in STEM - something she did not experience herself whilst studying and working in engineering. Her most impactful work to date includes:

Hosting Crash Course Physics - a x50 episode YouTube series, hosted by Shini on Advanced Placement Level Physics
(approx. 50 million views across entire series) - PBS Digital Studios.

Hosting Crash Course Engineering - x45 episode YouTube series hosted by Shini, on the various aspects of engineering.
(approx. 8 million views across entire series) - PBS Digital Studios.

Authoring children's books. Shini has published 6 books to date. Her seventh book will be published in Spring 2023. Shini also writes a regular article for E&T Magazine for the Institute of Engineering and Technology, about diversity and inclusion in engineering.
