Work History

Airfoil Design Project

Fluid Dynamics at Virginia Tech
12.2023 - 12.2023
  • Collaborated within a team of ten to optimize the aerodynamic performance of three airfoils (NACA 5611, NACA 5612, NACA 2412), resulting in a reduction in carbon emissions and a marked enhancement in fuel efficiency. Report was well written and received second place out of 13 groups.

Boost Glider Project

Intro to Aerospace Engr at Virginia Tech
10.2022 - 10.2022
  • Supervised a dedicated team of five in spearheading the Boost Glider Project as part of the Aerospace introduction course at Virginia Tech. Orchestrated the design and construction of a rocket focused on reaching high-altitudes and ensuring a controlled gliding descent.

Wind Turbine Engineering Project

General Engineering
01.2023 - 03.2023
  • Conducted routine checks on mechanical parts such as gears, brakes, bearings and blades.
  • Monitored voltage levels in order to optimize power output from turbines.
  • Repaired damaged blades by welding or replacing sections as necessary.
