- Working under Professor Fabien Evrard- Created code implementation using the Method of Regularized Stokeslets to compute aerodynamic forces acting a smoothly shaped body

- Founded podcast with the goal of presenting a behind the scenes look into the world of motorsport- Organize, host, and edit episodes with guests including a former British F3 champion, a former Ferrari F1 engineer, multiple IndyCar drivers, and the Sporting Director of the Alfa Romeo Sauber F1 team- Produce additional social media content focused on different technical topics

Kent, Washington, United States

- Created a model in Simulink to accurately simulate pressure in the gaseous Helium lines; used test data to correlate model and completed multiple rounds of testing in the hardware in the loop lab - Conducted validation tasks comparing hardware in the loop simulation data to real-world data, affirming simulation accuracy and delivering quality metrics to the New Glenn operations team- Reviewed piping and instrumentation diagrams for all cryogenic ground systems and subsequently updated SimScape ground plant models for numerous cryogenic commodity subsystems - Ran tests in the integrated simulation environment to help debug and integrate BE-4 engines in the terminal count sequencer

Brownsville, Texas, United States

- Designed and fabricated several different ground support tools which allowed thermal hardware production technicians to lay thermal tiles quickly and more accurately per engineering requirements- Formulated detailed tile integration planning for the ship's forward and aft flaps, establishing robust production protocols and ensuring adherence to company-wide manufacturing standards- Collaborated closely with design engineers based in the Hawthorne office to expediently address and rectify avionics and sensor-related production issues on various forward and aft flap instrumented tiles- Conducted in-depth research into the tile and post-coat sintering processes and subsequently devised a testing strategy designed to gather comprehensive data concerning the potential warping and shrinking tendencies of tiles of varying sizes and thicknesses

Champaign, Illinois, United States

- Responsible for design, analysis, manufacturing, and testing of 2023 aerodynamics package - Managed team of 15+ engineering students- Conducted testing with the previous year’s car at the Stellantis full scale wind tunnel and subsequently created an adjusted CFD suite to correlate testing and simulation data - Used Creo and STAR-CCM+ to design and optimize the aerodynamics package per set performance targets- Followed pre-preg carbon fiber layup techniques to manufacture airfoil elements and diffuser- Worked with drivers during on-track testing sessions to tune aerodynamic balance, test component performance, and validate certain performance trends compared against simulation data
