Hi! I'm a sophomore Aerospace Engineering student at Texas A&M, originally from the Bay Area. I enjoy learning more about the world around me - a key driver behind my love for engineering - and the reason for why I have picked up an interest in psychology and philosophy. Within aerospace, I am looking to pursue a career in eVTOL (see VFD) with a clean mix of work in design & modeling and building & troubleshooting. I have picked up a fondness for engineering design teams ever since high school for the physical components they require interaction with and the tangible results they produce.
In my free time, I enjoy hiking (pacific coast!), landscape photography, reading & writing, and travelling.
- Aerodynamics member
- Main contributions: design research, code-writing, and CFD simulation
- Outlook: niche design mini-project(s) and/or variable pitch propellor R&D
- WON #1 PLACE! Designed a S&R lift+cruise eVTOL vehicle suited to drop a 5 lb safety payment to a stranded hiker under adverse conditions: [1] 10,000 ft, [2] under 20-40 kt winds, [3] 500 ft cloud cover, and [4] fog with 50% visibility
- Utilized iterative sizing method and constraint analysis via python to calculate aerodynamic specifications of 2+ million configurations; compiled detailed technical report, thorough CDR, and brief presentation
- Fluids Engineer on Rocket Engine Design: contributed to upper nitrous line of the liquid bi-propellant engine, Elysium 2.0
- Worked with 4 others to research, design, and CAD a rocket to meet Ignite Challenge parameters, then ran FEA and simulated its landing via python to determine thrust activation altitude; finally presented results and scored 284/300!
