Project Leader
Blue (Model Turbojet Engine Student Team)
Instituto Superior Técnico, Lisbon, Portugal
Envisioned the overall goals of the project and each team, outlining the plan to achieve them;Handled the new members' recruitment process: conducted interviews, participated in the selection process, presented workshops on jet engine thermodynamics and turbomachinery, and tutored the new members during their recruitment tasks and assessment;Prepared applications for external funding opportunities;Optimized MATLAB scripts to compute the thermodynamic and engine sizing parameters based on its performance goals and restrictions;Developed a process to determine the maximum rotational speed of the shaft, based on material, performance, and dimensional parameters;Performed compressor and turbine research to improve our predictions of component losses and irreversibilities.
