As part of my undergraduate journey, I’ve had the opportunity to work on several impactful projects. Below are some highlights:

1. Senior Design Project - Eddy Current Airfoil De-Icing

In collaboration with Pratt & Whitney, my team developed a novel use for eddy current sensors in airfoil de-icing. This project gave me the chance to apply my knowledge of electromagnetism, heat transfer, and finite element analysis using ANSYS Maxwell.

2. Hybrid Electric Propulsion Tool

In this project, I helped design a tool for sizing hybrid-electric propulsion systems for regional aerial mobility (RAM) aircraft. This involved researching battery specifications, mass, and endurance requirements to generate viable design recommendations.

3. Production and Tooling at Ebmpapst

During my internship at Ebmpapst, I created a Python-based design tool for generating prototype inlet rings, integrating with SolidWorks. I also worked with the production team to design, fabricate, and test parts for manufacturing.

These experiences have not only strengthened my technical skills but also given me a deeper appreciation for the collaborative nature of engineering.

Stay tuned for more project deep dives!
