Portfolio: https://aiden116.wixsite.com/portfolioAs a Mechanical Engineer at Apex, my role is to help design high-quality, standardized satellite buses that allow our partners to quickly and reliably get into orbit. I am a recent graduate with a B.S. in Mechanical Engineering from UCLA, and am passionate about designing and optimizing vehicles of all kinds.At UCLA, I was the Aerodynamics Lead for Design Build Fly, which is a club that designs and constructs a remote-controlled airplane each year to meet a unique set of challenges put together by AIAA. I was responsible for aircraft sizing, stability analysis, airfoil selection, and CFD. I was also a member of the aerodynamics subteam of the UCLA Bruin Formula Racing FSAE team. We used Siemens Star CCM+ and various other programs to perform CFD and lap time simulations on the vehicle, with the goal of designing aerodynamic elements that lead to a substantial decrease in lap time.In my free time, I enjoy photography, mountain biking, flying RC aircraft, and working on personal engineering projects.
