• Performing CFD flow analysis on an F-22 model via Ansys Fluent
• Calculated aerodynamic forces and mapped pressure contours and flow phenomena at various angles of attack over various portions of the model's fuselage and wing
• Verified simulated CFD results with data retrieved from Cal Poly Pomona’s Low-Speed Wind Tunnel
• Edited key model design features in SolidWorks to improve meshing quality and simulation results

California State Polytechnic University, Pomona

• Characterizing and creating an Ammonium Perchlorate Composite Propellant (APCP) formula for future rocket Cal Poly teams at a ~30% reduction in cost and easier manufacturability
• Organized relevant sub-teams and developed a Gantt chart to organize project timeline
• Helped finalize the design of the motor testing hardware using SolidWorks
• Developed propellant candidates using programs such as AFCESIC, ProPep3, and BurnSim
• Conducted two static fire tests of propellant candidate to retrieve performance and internal ballistics characteristics using solid propellant regression rate modeling
• Analyzed pressure data to determine burn rate coefficient and pressure exponent to illustrate the propellant candidate's behavior under various operating pressures

Pomona, California, United States

• Successfully launched and recovered an O-class rocket to an apogee of 31,042 ft with a max velocity of Mach 1.65
• Led the team that designed, manufactured, and tested the rocket’s O-class solid rocket motor and general propulsion system
• Led and conducted the mixing of Ammonium Perchlorate Composite Propellant (APCP)
• Ran various simulations and analysis using BurnSim to optimize nozzle geometry and motor configuration to achieve a specific thrust profile
• Successfully conducted two full-scale and sub-scale static tests and gathered relevant thrust and pressure data using a homemade DAQ system; motor generated 1400 lbs of thrust
• Presented CoDR, PDR, and Final Presentation to industry representatives from Lockheed Martin
