𝗡𝗔𝗦𝗔 : 𝗔𝗱𝘃𝗮𝗻𝗰𝗲𝗱 𝗥𝗲𝗴𝗶𝗼𝗻𝗮𝗹 𝗔𝗶𝗿 𝗠𝗼𝗯𝗶𝗹𝗶𝘁𝘆 𝗦𝘁𝘂𝗱𝘆Goal: Facilitate a cost-effective and safe Regional Air transportation network by Electrifying Regional Jets and convert under-utilized secondary airports in the USA to facilitate this operation.● Crew-Pair Modelling: The objective is to optimize the aircraft network for specified routes, maximizing profit while minimizing downtime, and optimizing flight hours for both crew and pilots.Developed and fine-tuned a crew pair model for approximately 10,000 routes within the Northeast Corridor, integrating FAA Part 23, 91, 121, and 135 regulations. Utilized Python with the Gurobi optimizer to significantly decrease airline network operating costs by 65% and eliminate pair redundancy entirely.● Modeling Airport Microgrids - Employing PV Watts to support the development of charging infrastructure at airports and calculate electricity production from solar panel installations.● Led aircraft and engine calibration and sizing initiatives for 2, 4, 9, 16, 30, and 48 passenger aircraft. Contributed to the implementation of a battery model to electrify cruise and descent phases of the aircraft mission, resulting in a 35% reduction in fuel costs and optimizing a predictive model with 1000% improved accuracy.
