My senior design project, The Kelpie is my pride and joy. I am the structures lead of this 10 person team, which leaves me the following responsibilities: modelling of the aircraft, weight and cg calculations ensuring that aircraft stays under required 12,500 lb, structural analysis (FEA), and mater...

This project modeled the Supermarine Spitfire’s elliptical wing in Mathematica to analyze its structural response under realistic aerodynamic loading. The simulation incorporated distributed lift, gravitational, and tip vortex loads while using energy methods to determine deflection and strain energ...

Developing a high-fidelity peridynamics workflow to investigate void closure and damage sensing in solid rocket fuel geometries. The simulation pipeline converts high-resolution microstructure images into particle-based discretizations (hundreds of thousands of particles) for large-scale peridynamic...

As a member of the Structures Subteam for Virginia Tech’s Orbital Launch Vehicle Team, this project focuses on designing, manufacturing, and testing structural components for a high-powered rocket capable of reaching 10,000 ft. The team emphasizes iterative fabrication and validation through experim...

GobbleBot was a fully autonomous delivery robot designed to transport small payloads across campus terrain using a tread-based locomotion system. The project integrates mechanical, electrical, and software engineering disciplines to develop a reliable, cost-effective prototype capable of navigating ...
