Summary

Aerospace engineering graduate with hands-on experience in aerodynamic analysis, stability modeling, and multidisciplinary missile design. Developed MATLAB models and SolidWorks models to support design decisions. Produced engineering documentation, trade studies, and system integration deliverables aligned with design constraints.

Work History

Missile Design

Senior Design Project
  • Aerodynamic & Stability Analysis / Engineering Modeling — Developed and iterated MATLAB-based aerodynamic models to evaluate vehicle stability and support configuration development across the flight envelope.
  • Systems Integration & Multidisciplinary Design — Integrated aerodynamic, propulsion, geometry, radar, and MK 41 VLS constraints to evaluate the interceptor as a complete system and support design decisions.
  • Engineering Trade Studies & Technical Research — Evaluated competing design requirements and researched system-level constraints to guide configuration selection and overall vehicle development.
  • MK 41 VLS Naval Interceptor Missile

Aeroelasticity

Research
  • Conducted independent research on aeroelastic flutter, investigating interactions between aerodynamic, elastic, and inertial forces affecting aircraft structural stability.
  • Analyzed flutter behavior and parameters to evaluate conditions leading to dynamic instability, documenting findings in a technical research report that informed future research.
  • Evaluated aeroelastic flutter to identify factors influencing aircraft structural integrity, contributing insights critical for enhancing design safety.
