I studied how to improve combusting flows inside of a Rectangular to Elliptical Shape Transition (REST) Scramjet engine through the application of tailored fuel injection, working under the SCRAMSPACE program at UQ. My study was primarily computational, though some experiments were carried out near the end of 2013. My research work led to my developing a deep understanding of the challenges in scramjet combustion, as well as expanding my practical capabilities in the areas of CFD, mesh generation, and data analysis.During my candidature, I spent time as both a teaching assistant (ENGG 1100 - Introduction to Engineering & MECH 4800 - Space Engineering) and a research assistant. My research assistant work included performing multiple simulations on suppressing irregular shock refractions in a notional Magento-Hydrodynamic (MHD) plasma.

Working behind the scenes to make sure everyone gets a grade, a department, and whatever else needs doing.
