• Completed an investigation and test to determine the most efficient wing type.
• Modeled various configurations of the wings in SolidWorks with each containing a different dihedral/sweep/length combination.
• Used a 3D printer to print models for usage in the wind tunnel to test each of the lift/drag ratio for optimal combination of factors.

Worked in various restaurants part time as a server during summers. Worked in Frittella Italian Cafe, The Woodlands Resort and Conference Center, and Pei Wei Asian Diner.
