• 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• Aided the development of Gantt chart to ensure the team stays on schedule to complete various static fires and test launches in preparation for the competition launch in June• Assisted the team recruitment process by screening applicants and conducting interviews
