Target Development Student Research Assistant
› Employed ANSYS FEA software to perform coupled thermal-structural simulations using particle power deposition mapping to optimize and guide the design of a proton beam window. › Provided a comprehensive investigation of water-cooling pressure drop through a radioactive target station using empirical formulas and CFD simulations to benchmark complex geometries. › Presented optimization results at design team meetings and a scientific poster fair, effectively communicating findings to both technical and non-technical audiences.
