Design and manufacture of a metal 3D Printed, Regeneratively Cooled, Bipropellant Rocket Engine• Pioneering work at undergraduate level among UK universities • Conducted preliminary Computational Fluid Dynamics Analysis using COMSOL and FLUENT• In-charge of thermoelastic stress and hoop stress analysis using ANSYS as sole mechanical engineer in group• Applied innovative technique to streamline Finite Element Analysis, allowing quicker analysis of various configurations and materials. Improved efficiency was critical given the difficulty level and time constraint• Determined dimensions of coolant channels using spreadsheet analysis of results from FEA• Determined ideal material for structural design requirements• In-charge of presentation and slides• Final design displayed in Farnborough International Airshow 2018 by Frazer Nash• Co-authored and published results in conference paper

Southampton, United Kingdom

Resonance Study of Space Debris in Low Earth Orbit• Conducted extensive literature review and researched existing information on the subject• Self-taught Visual Python to design 2D simulation software to simulate the space debris environment• Successfully implemented various mathematical models in code to closely represent debris formation• Applied innovative methods to obtain novel solution (e.g. resolve collision detection mechanics via probabilistic collision approach) • Project planning, discussion and analysis of data under supervision

Johor, Malaysia

Internship at USMC in partnership with Singapore Eye Research Institute and Essilor, as Design Lead• CAD modelling and design optimisation using SOLIDWORKS, rapid prototyping via 3D Printing• Pitch and presentation of project to external partners (PREZI Software)• Communicate with Electronics Lead and obtain feedback from supervisor in iterative design process• Successfully completed and delivered project 2 weeks ahead of schedule, meeting all required criteria• Followed up with external partners to provide technical support on project one year later• Results of experiment, enabled by apparatus designed in this project, has been published (Co-author) (2019)
