CV

Undergraduate Research Assistant

CMSC / Indiana Manufacturing Institute (IMI), Purdue University

• Developed multiscale CFD models of infusion and curing for 3D woven composites across micro-, meso-, and macro-scales.
• Conducted more than 20 parametric simulations to investigate resin flow, thermal behavior, and cure development under different processing conditions.
• Collaborated with a Ph.D. student to refine an autoclave model and implemented cure kinetics and reaction heat through three CONVERGE user-defined functions.
• Performed composite layup for autoclave experiments, calibrated the model, and validated temperature predictions against six thermocouples with less than 3% error at every location.
• Prepared composite specimens by cutting and sanding, and assisted with four-point bending tests and digital image correlation (DIC) setup.
• Built a data-acquisition system integrating laser, depth-camera, temperature, and pressure measurements for automated fiber placement (AFP) monitoring.
• Developed a model to identify gap, overlap, twist, and thermal defects from measurements and evaluate corrective actions in simulation.
• Trained labmates in data-acquisition system operation and circuit troubleshooting, and authored a 15-page training manual.

Purdue Space Program (PSP) Liquids

Purdue University

• Performed bolt and concrete-anchor selection and analysis for an engine test stand.
• Identified 20 qualified welding suppliers, compared quotations to select three vendors, and created a supplier list subsequently used by multiple PSP subteams.

Buckeye Space Launch Initiative (BSLI)

The Ohio State University

• Built an engine launch-control box and a LabJack-based data-acquisition system for fuel and oxidizer flow.
• Modeled an electric propellant pump and performed flow analysis using ANSYS.

Grader — AAE 352: Aerospace Structural Analysis I

Purdue University

• Graded 11 structural-analysis assignments for more than 250 students and provided detailed feedback on reasoning errors.
• Received fewer than 15 regrade requests and no second-round regrades throughout the semester.

FRC Coordinator & Media Recruitment Chair

FIRST Alumni & Robotics at The Ohio State University (FROS)

• Maintained relationships with five regional high-school FIRST Robotics Competition (FRC) teams and coordinated communication among students, mentors, and university members.
• Supported the organization of a regional FRC robotics competition.
