- Develop new material expiration date and material usage documentation templates Program MasterCAM to optimally nest 2D sketches to minimize both material used and machine run time- Efficiently operate CNC cutting machine to cut prepreg carbon fiber, fiberglass, honeycomb, and other materials - Prep, layup, vacuum bag, and cure various woven composite materials in flat and molded shapes using prepreg, vacuum infusion, and wet layups

University Of Washington

- Simulated Max Q conditions on the nose cone using ANSYS Fluent to determine the boundary layer separation point and values for drag and pressure forces.- Conducted OpenRocket simulations to iteratively optimize fin geometries and ultimately, maximize the rocket's apogee.- Assisted in carbon fiber and fiberglass layups- Created 3D printed prototype fins for a 38% scale model wind tunnel test.

Issaquah Washington

- Worked on an electric powered UAV for DARPA.- Managed OpenVSP configurations to document changes in the vehicle model.- Executed aircraft performance code to test parametric variation impact on the vehicle’s performance.- Prepared presentations for DARPA project briefings by generating various parametric graphs and tables.

University Of Washington

- Conducted experiment on reducing aerodynamic drag on a motorcycle fairing through vortex generators.- Designed, modeled, and 3D printed side panel of a front fairing.- Completed a series of 3’x3’ wind tunnel tests at four different dynamic pressures and six configurations of vortex generators and compared to theoretical 3D simulation results ran on ANSYS Fluent.

University Of Washington

- Designed Team 29 front wing with new airfoil section and geometry profile. Positioned assembly to account for chassis packaging, rule-compliant bounding boxes, and angle of attack range.- Performed CFD simulations with the front wing model to evaluate the lift and drag coefficients.- Conducted 3D fluid flow simulations of full vehicle cornering conditions to test new geometries and validate design.- Assisted in subsonic wind tunnel testing setup and analysis.

- Prepared purchase orders by verifying item specifications and pricing.- Obtained purchased items by coordinating with suppliers and monitoring order statuses.

- Manufactured a carbon fiber duct and fan shroud for the radiator assembly.- Machined multi-stage male/female molds out of high-density polyurethane foam.- Completed wing mounting static structural tests and carbon rod tensile tests.
