  • Aug 2020 - Jul 2021

  Explored hybrid rocket engine configuration effects on graphite erosion in the nozzle and successfully developed a model to predict uneven erosion as part of my Master dissertation.Assessed Chimera-I rocket engine nozzle performance and optimised the expansion for a test-stand prototype due to test in 2021. Working on the thermal analysis for the combustion chamber, successfully building a backbone theory for future iterations of the engine.

• Aerofoil Team Leader

  • Sep 2019 - Sep 2020

  Led the Aerofoil Team through the final stages of the development of the 3D printed jet engine - Kronos. In the final year, the team aimed and succeeded to complete the design and optimisation of the HPC, HPT and LPT. Managed the workload of the team members and assigned weekly objectives based on their progress. Co-wrote a user guide to ANSYS Turbogrid and Fluent to introduce the members of JetX to the use of the software, and guided the team members through the learning of the computational software.

• Aerofoil Team Member

  • Sep 2018 - Aug 2019

  Part of the development of the fan, compressor and turbine for both the projects Kronos (low bypass ratio engine) and X-Plorer II (high bypass ratio engine), 3D printed models with testing purposes for universities, optimized for static conditions.The nature itself of JetX Engineering encourages personal improvement and creative thinkingduring the development of the components, allowing the exploration of different configurations. Independent work and time management are widely tested with respect to the overall design of thetwo engines. It trained mental flexibility as it was necessary to switch between projects with different characteristics when required.Cooperated on the development of the mathematical model for the aerodynamic responses of the components and development of relative MATLAB codes which resulted in 3D models realised in SolidWorks. Led the CFD simulations of the components in ANSYS Fluent and independently provided an iterative optimization of the blade geometry.

• Compressor Team Member at Kronos Project

  • Oct 2017 - Aug 2018

  Part of the design of the Thermal and Fluid model of the compressor stage for a low bypass ratio Jet engine through the development of MatLab codes to provide the geometric settings of the compressor stages.The role required Problem Solving and troubleshooting in MatLab environment, and use of an iterative approach to the design with multiple do-overs. As part of a bigger project, it was needed cooperation with the members of the team and other teams for the performance analysis of the engine.

  • Sep 2018 - Aug 2019

  Part of the team dealing with the initial study and model for the propulsive system of the Pod for the Hyperloop competition organized by SpaceX. It involved analysis of the vacuum environment of use, with efficacy and hazard study of the different proposalsRequired autonomous study of design methods outside the university courses ranges, due to the development of systems related to mechanical engineering. Mainly involved in the development of the design for the emergency friction braking system, material response analysis and test, cost-efficacy study. Also involvement in the design of the hydraulic system that controls the brakes of the pod and the deployment of the magnetic levitation system.
