Projects and Experiences
Engineering Intern (Aerodynamics)
Honda Aircraft Company
June 2018 - Sept 2018
• Developed grids for CFD analysis of new parts on the HondaJet HA-420 aircraft.
• Developed new forms used to check manufacturing tolerances on aerodynamic surfaces of the HondaJet HA-420.
• Determined appropriate inputs for using BAY model to simulate vortex generators (VG) in CFD over a range of VG sizes.
CFD Research Apprentice
Technische Universität Braunschweig
May 2016 - Aug 2016
• Investigated vortices generated by delta wings using CFD Simulations.
• Automated analysis and calculation using BASH script to generate more data in a short time.
Aerodynamics Team Leader
Purdue Formula SAE
Aug 2014 - Dec 2016
• Designed and tested all aerodynamics components of the car for the Formula SAE competition.
• Manufactured aerodynamic components of the car using composite materials (carbon fiber).
Aerodynamic Design - Tube Launched UAV
Purdue University
Aug 2016 - Dec 2016
• Teamed with seven students to design and build a tube launched, fixed wing, electric powered UAV.
• Led the design of aerodynamics of the airplane – conducted CFD analysis in XFLR5 and Star-CCM+.
SU2 Developer
Aerospace Design Lab, Stanford University
Sept 2018 - present
• Implement the BAY Model for VGs in SU2 to simulate VGs using a source term rather than a body-fitted mesh.
• Study potential improvements to the BAY Model to make it easier to use.
Thermodynamics Supplemental Instruction Leader
Student Success at Purdue
Jan 2015 – May 2016
• Facilitated bi-weekly sessions for ME 200 – Thermodynamics (2016) and CS 159 - Programming for Engineers (2015).
• Coached students to develop ‘study skills’ that they can apply throughout their college career.
