OVERVIEW

Objective: Design and analytically evaluate a non-reacting hypersonic test facility capable of producing Mach 6 flow while maintaining a normal shock at the channel exit. Engineering Work: Derived nozzle area ratios to achieve Mach 6 flow conditions Applied isentropic flow relations, Fanno flow with friction, and normal shock theory Determined stagnation pressure requirements for both ideal and non-ideal flow cases Estimated mass flow rate and required high-pressure air storage for sustained operation Compared ideal expansion assumptions against realistic shock-containing operation

HighlightS

Key Outcomes:


  • Quantified significant stagnation pressure losses due to shocks and wall friction
  • Demonstrated system-level understanding of hypersonic facility constraints
  • Produced defensible analytical results supporting facility feasibility

SKILLS

Analytical compressible flow theory, MATLAB-style calculations

Aerospace Engineer | Propulsion, Aerodynamics & Structural Analysis

Aerospace engineer with strong analytical and simulation-driven experience across propulsion systems, high-speed compressible flow, aerodynamics, CFD, and structural fracture mechanics. Demonstrated ability to translate theory into validated engineering insight through system-level design projects, numerical simulations, and parametric studies. Experienced with MATLAB, ANSYS Fluent, Abaqus, Python automation, and aerodynamic analysis tools. Seeking entry-level or associate aerospace engineering roles in propulsion, structures, aerodynamics, or systems engineering.


I’m currently seeking full-time opportunities in aerospace propulsion, systems engineering, or R&D, where I can contribute to mission-driven projects and continue growing as an engineer.


Long-term, I aim to contribute to technologies that enable deep space exploration, especially sustainable missions to Mars. Whether through propulsion, entry systems, or autonomous spacecraft, I want to help shape the future of interplanetary travel through grounded engineering and innovation.
