Engineering

At Rutgers Rocket Propulsion Lab, I used Solidworks to CAD 6+ components for the rocket we will be launching at Spaceport America in mid-2024. I also created the final assembly using my own parts, pieces that other team members/departments designed, and CAD files provided by the manufacturer for select pre-fabricated parts.

At Rutgers Rocket Propulsion Lab, I used ANSYS to conduct flow simulations for various aerodynamic body designs. These results were used to determine the optimal shape for the interstage of our rocket. (An interstage, in our case, was necessary to connect two body tubes of different diameters)

At Rutgers Solar Car, I utilized Solidworks's flow simulation capabilities to conceptualize a heated spray paint booth for our composites department. The simulations informed where vents and circulation fans could be placed to encourage efficient evacuation of aerosols.

At Rutgers Solar Car, I fabricated 2 enclosure panels for the electrical engineering department using a CNC router and vCarve toolpath software. To accomplish this, I needed to complete Rutgers Woodshop certification.

At Rutgers Rocket Propulsion Lab, I remedied non-conforming fiberglass body tubes to meet flatness tolerances. This ensured that all of the tubes would fit together when it came time to assemble the rocket.
