Norwich, New York, United States

Designed pneumatic support systems for component wind tunnel testingDeveloped and optimized 3D transient Computational Fluid Dynamics simulations with ANSYS CFX for engine component analysis in support of the RISE engine program. Using CFD-POST and MATLAB I created time-frequency analysis tools that identified the vortex shedding frequencies of the base.
