CURRICULAR ACTIVITIES
Team research and build project, 09/2024-05/2025
Part of team of 5 which designed and built horizontal tail plane for STOL UAV
- I was responsible for aerodynamic and mechanism for flaps design and testing
- Full UAV was tested in wind tunnel and results compared to design calculations which were made using Xfoil, ESDU data sheets, linkage,and potential flow model calculations to evaluate performance and satisfaction of mission aims
Independent research project, 01/2025-05/2025
- Vibrations system of a vertical tail plane was analyzed to characterise the system and propose a tuned vibration absorber to suppress the resonant buffeting
- Used a variety of methods and skills such as MATLAB, Dynamic Systems Modeling, Frequency Response Analysis, Flutter Prediction, Vibration Control.
Independent research project, 01/2025-05/2025
- Analysis of satellite telemetry data, signal analysis of received was used to find potential hardware
- Proportional–integral–derivative, PD, P with rate feedback, controllers were designed and calibrated to move satellite while managing the dynamic interactions between the rigid body and flexible structures
- MATLAB and SIMULINK used to aid in analysis and test performance
Independent research project, 09/2024-01/2025
- Planned and designed GEO earth observing satellite mission, mission design such as mission objectives, computation and selection of payload(AOCS, Solarpanels, Batteries, etc)
- Orbital and launch analysis, delta V calculations for launcher selection and orbital maneuvers like hohmann transfer to estimate needed fuel.
EXTRACURRICULAR ACTIVITIES
