Los Angeles, California, United States

Performing finite element analysis (FEA) on components for team’s aircraft in preparation for entry into the 2025 Design, Fly, Competition

Indianapolis, Indiana, United States

• Performed component level static and dynamic finite element analysis (FEA) using ANSYS to assess the structural integrity on military rotorcraft bracket components. Presented the results to structural review audit teams and the engine program to influence component new product introduction (NPI) design

Urbana-Champaign Area

• Worked in interdisciplinary design team compromising of 9 engineering students to develop and design a heavy lift aircraft request for proposal for the 2024 AIAA Undergraduate Team Aircraft Design Competition• Developed the overall structural configuration of a novel blended wing body heavy mobility transport aircraft using Siemens NX for design and NX NASTRAN for stress analysis• Awarded third place worldwide in the design competition, earning high marks and praise from experts, with report published on AIAA

Urbana, Illinois, United States

• Conducted experiments using a UV light source on continuous fiber composite samples to train a machine learning algorithm that maps the frontal curing path caused by frontal polymerization• Developed the hardware basis for a UV light control system using dual stepper motors controlled by a RaspberryPi. This will be used to demonstrate the frontal polymerization curing path for continuous fiber composite samples

Indianapolis, Indiana, United States

• Provided guidance to technical document for implementing Design for Service in NPI cycle• Analyzed engineering drawings to reduce warehouse space by 7.5% and costs by $250,000 through developing component repair statements of work for Rolls-Royce LiftSystem™ 3-Bearing Swivel Module containers • Conducted FEA stress analysis in ANSYS to improve a ground support equipment tool for Rolls-Royce LiftSystem™• Applied effective Root Cause Analysis techniques to enhance problem solving capabilities and create training material
