Perth, Western Australia, Australia

Working on aircraft design, aerodynamic and propulsion modelling, and flight systems engineering across multiple projects.

Sydney, New South Wales, Australia

Managed a large multidisciplinary team of students to design and construct remote-controlled aircraft to compete in the AIAA Design Build Fly competition. Grew team from 8 members to over 70 by organizing an extensive recruitment drive and now lead the team by: - chairing meetings - liaising with external parties including faculty members and sponsors - designing workshops to upskill members - organizing team activities - working closely with team leaders to provide design direction and timeline management - coordinating manufacturing - overseeing marketing - maintaining team morale

Managed the overall technical design and development of a remote controlled aircraft.

Newcastle, New South Wales, Australia

Modelled and optimized the design of LED based light source using industry standard raytracing software (Zemax OpticStudio) to meet stringent criteria on stability, uniformity and spectral distribution.

Sydney, New South Wales, Australia

Designed perovskite solar cell (PSC) architectures that were optimized for space applications by modelling their optical and electrical properties in Python and MATLAB. Supervised by Prof. Anita Ho‑Baillie and Prof. David McKenzie. My work contributed to 2 journal articles which have been published here: https://doi.org/10.1002/admt.202101059 https://doi.org/10.1016/j.joule.2022.06.003

Auckland, New Zealand

Wrote algorithms to accelerate data migration process from SAP ERP to SAP Sales Cloud, completing the process 2 weeks ahead of schedule while maintaining website backend data.

Sydney, New South Wales, Australia

- Developed a numerical model in MATLAB for self‑similar pulse propagation in optical fibres to prove the existence of stable higher order solutions. Supervised by Prof. Martijn de Sterke. My work contributed to a journal article which has been published here: https://doi.org/10.1103/PhysRevA.104.013506- Carried out experimental research on the properties of cold‑drawn polycaprolactone (PCL) to assess suitability for biomedical applications. Supervised by Dr Simon Fleming.
