• Designed and implemented an error estimator-driven adaptive large eddy simulation (LES) framework using PHASTA, a finite element-based flow solver.• Conducted high-fidelity simulations of complex unsteady problems for rotorcraft and wind turbine applications. • Performed simulations on meshes of up to 75 million elements using massively parallel HPC clusters.• Successfully applied active flow control through the use of active reflex camber, dynamically morphing the airfoil shape mid-flight during flow reversal. • Achieved up to 75% drag reduction and mitigated drag force fluctuations.

Troy, New York.

• T.A. for Introduction to CFD, Finite Element Analysis, and Boundary Layer & Heat Transfer courses.• Created tutorials and presented product demonstrations for various CFD problems ranging from 2D flow over an airfoil to 3D flow over a car model in Altair HyperWorks CFD.• Provided technical support and training in a classroom environment for various CAD & CAE software.
