- Currently prototyping a hybrid VTOL UAV to enhance the endurance of UAS competition aircraft- Exploring the capabilities of fixed-wing configurations, distinct from conventional quadcopters

- Developed Courses: Created a 90-hour summer course for high school students and a 30-hour course for undergraduate students, both hands-on and focused on radio-controlled airplanes.- Taught Aircraft Design: Covered the physics of flight, aerodynamics, fluid mechanics, airfoil selection, aircraft sizing in MATLAB, stability, figure of merit (FOM) charts, propulsion, and electronics.- Manufacturing Training: Trained students in CAD (Onshape), 3D printing, laser cutting, foam cutting, and various other manufacturing techniques.- Process Optimization: Optimized manufacturing processes to save students hours of time, allowing them to focus on designing mechanisms and fulfilling mission specifications.- Avionics System Development: Devised a robust avionics system using a Pixhawk and various sensors to enhance flight control, record flight information, and control peripheral mechanisms.- CFD Flow Simulations: Demonstrated CFD flow simulations in SolidWorks using Wizard.Summer High School Course Highlights:- Arduino Integration: Incorporated Arduino into the syllabus and devised applications such as landing lights, reloadable payload delivery systems, live GPS tracking, etc.- Flight Test Organization: Organized and led an off-campus flight test day at a local airfield.

- Prototype lead for a wireless rover with a claw, developed as the technical project for a hackathon.- Led CAD software training, covering sketching, part design, and assembly animations.- Spearheaded manufacturing training on 3D printers, laser cutters, and power tools, focusing on proficiency and safety.- Hosted and maintained the Basic Training and HAcK websites, providing resources for participants.- Managed over $10,000 in engineering hardware and inventory.

- Explored how IoT based solutions can be used to resolve bottlenecks while navigating through an Airport.- Crafted a mindmap and data model to document 30+ IoT based smart use cases and created flow charts for each use case demonstrating the flow of logic and use of technology. - Explored how various softwares like Aeronautical Fixed Telecommunication Network (AFTN), or Flight Information Display Systems (FIDS) can use used to information management, landside, and airside operations.- Wrote a qualitative analysis which was presented to the CEO of the company.
