• Worked to optimize 1-lap and race performance in a car and driver competing in SCCA’s SARRC championship in the Spec Racer Ford 3 class• Utilized an AiM data system with video on the car to analyze the car and driver’s performance and balance to extract possible speed at any track in any weather via setup changes such as ride height, dampers, and tire pressures• Coached driver through learning tracks and improvement in race and qualifying settings utilizing data and video• Analyzed brake application/release, traction circles, attitude velocity, and multiple other characteristics of the laps with a goal of winning every weekend and the championship• 3D scanned front and rear suspension geometries in order to obtain suspension points for kinematics analysis, improve a model in Assetto Corsa for the community, and allow the driver to learn tracks not available in iRacing• Won the championship with 60+ entries• 3 race wins and 7 podiums in 9 races

• Conducted heat exchanger testing and CFD on melting and solidification of novel thermal energy storage devices utilizing phase change material (PCM)• Increased capabilities of open channel heat exchanger test loop by introducing a universal test section mount, benchmarking velocity, pressure drop at multiple temperatures and fan voltages, standardizing data acquisition

Daytona Beach, Florida, United States

• Developed CFD process utilizing available computing power and Star-CCM+ licensing• Performed studies varying solver parameters such as A1, AMG cycle settings, under relaxation factors, and so on to ensure sensitivities of numerics were understood while awaiting validation• Established process for designing parts, managing package involving collaboration with the composites manufacturing team to ensure all parts were manufacturable along with analysis of pitch sensitivity, aerodynamic loads, and balance impact

• Led a highly talented team of business, engineering, aviation, and maintenance students with the purpose of competing in Formula SAE• Implemented a culture of mutual respect and attention to detail by revitalizing weekly systems to involve consistent design reviews, as well as technical sessions to educate newer members of the aerodynamics group• Managed individuals and groups to achieve targets by set deadlines, with a vision for translating day to day operations to a complete project by ensuring all system leads and members had adequate resources and obtainable goals• Developed lap time simulation capability using Pratt Miller’s LTS software, collecting all relevant data via hand calculations, supporting simulations, and track testing• Correlated lap time simulation utilizing speed, lap times, and lateral and longitudinal acceleration capabilities• Utilized lap time simulation to support adjusting for extreme weather at Formula SAE Las Vegas to determine event order and calculating setup adjustment such as ride height, spring rate, and camber

Daytona Beach, Florida, United States

• Led a team of 8+ engineers with a focus of designing an aerodynamics package to produce a ClA of 4 with a 42% forward balance• Focused on minimizing sensitivities, particularly relating to pitching, as the short wheelbase and large overhangs induce large moments

• Assisted in all aspects of simulation, including DoE, pre-processing, simulating, as well as post-processing and analyzing the convergence and quality of each simulation• Participated in the LMDh and Indycar programs• Increased the throughput and quality of steady state and transient simulations• Aided decision making related to external flow as well as cooling performance and packaging

Marysville, Oh

• Worked in weld department of Marysville Auto Plant on the production line• Participated in a quality focused and high paced environment• Was flexible enough to work multiple processes in a day with multiple aspects involved in each such as refreshing supply carts and different quality standards
