I live life through my projects. In the back of my mind, I'm always chewing on a problem and if I'm not, I'm looking for a new problem. I'm a passionate problem-solver who's always tinkering with something new. From programming to building, my projects are a reflection of my curious mind and love for innovation.
Developed an optimization & data visualization suite for Rocket Propulsion Analysis for team members at University of Glasgow Rocketry. I used this tool to significantly reduce thermal stress on the combustion chamber walls and reduce coolant pressure drop on a 5kN rocket.
Over-engineered a fully autonomous robot with 4 team members over the course of 8 months, resulting in 200% faster course completions & higher reliability scores than every other group in our class. Hand-built the entire C++ codebase & contributed significantly to the mechanical design of the final robot.
Eager to expand my machining & SolidWorks experience, I decided to manufacture a sold brass ring with onyx inlays with the CNC. This project delves head-first into the complexities of machining extremely small parts & the required clamping geometries.
Spurred by Multi-Variable Calculus and Dynamics, I created a python program that simulates a missile interception system. Complete with a GUI, the user can input starting parameters, time intervals, randomness & smoothness factors, and much more. This project has been significantly upgraded with AI tracking & realistic flight models.
Fully designed a childrens waterpark set in Glasgow, Scotland, with four group members. Designed shortcuts to reduce maze time, including a water-powered falling climbing wall and archemedies screw-enabled door. Impacts on environment, maintenance & manufacturing feasibility, UK regulations, and cost were all covered in-depth in a lengthy report.
This page covers a fraction of the engineering projects I've completed in the past four years. The following projects are no less in-depth than the ones covered above, and will be featured on this page.
Analysis of vibrations through a airframe using FEA
Optimization of fuel mixture through a small-scale jet engine using CFD
Material Selection of a Replacement Mirror of the Gran Telescopio Canaris
Circuit design of an Improved Frensel Lens Optical Landing System (IFLOLS) for carrier-based aircraft
Optimized bridge design with cost constraints, resulting in 2nd place among peers
Energy-conserving simulation of the motion of an irregular body
Optimization of a micro turbine's sound & power through parametric simulation
Founding the Jet Engine Team at the University of Denver & engineering small scale jet engines
