Professional
Selected Work
InternshipDiagnostic Process Rework for LEAP-1A Fuel System Alerts
At GE Aerospace fleet support, rebuilding the decision criteria for fuel nozzle flow divider valve fault alerts and cutting the false alarm rate by 40%.
CompetitionGoAERO Prize
Co-founded and lead a student team of more than 20 for the GoAERO Prize, owning the overall design and competition strategy. The team received the NASA Innovation Award.
InternshipC919 Engineering Simulator and Validation Platform
Supporting operation of the C919 validation platform at COMAC, integrating system models in C++ and improving test throughput by 20%.
PaperUAV Route Planning and Augmented Reality
Using Detroit Metropolitan Airport as a testbed: mapping airspace and regulatory constraints, designing four eVTOL arrival routes that stay clear of airline traffic, and building an open-source planning and 3D replay tool. Accepted to ICAS 2026.
CompetitionDesign Build Fly: Fixed-Wing UAV
Purdue's senior design competition — designing, building, and flying a fixed-wing drone from scratch, winning first place in mission, design, and innovation.
ResearchCoverage Path Planning Optimization
A NASA and Mosaic ATM collaboration — a coverage path planning optimization model built in Python with Gurobi, producing feasible plans across multi-facility scenarios.
CourseworkHigh-Fidelity CFD of the ONERA M6 Wing
AAE 412 final project: transonic turbulent CFD of the ONERA M6 wing in ANSYS Fluent, validated against NASA test data.
ProjectLunar Lander Leg Thermal Measurement Test
A Purdue and Exos Aerospace test campaign — integrating and testing the Pitot-rake data acquisition system, and completing all data collection within a tight test window.
CourseworkWinglet Analysis for a Long-Endurance Cargo UAV
Using Whitcomb span equivalence to turn a non-planar geometry problem into a planar parametric sweep, avoiding near-singular influence matrices in vortex-lattice analysis.
CourseworkComparing MDO Architectures for Two-Passenger eVTOL Sizing
Implementing and comparing MDF and IDF architectures in OpenMDAO, and quantifying how model fidelity shifts motor selection.
CourseworkFuel-Optimal Cruise Trajectory Optimization
A physics-based model of aircraft dynamics, fuel burn and wind, serving as a baseline against data-driven approaches.
ProjectInter-Island Commuter Aircraft Concept Design
A full-aircraft parametric model of a twin-turboprop, high-wing commuter airliner in Siemens NX, with trade-offs between economics and the performance envelope.
