Structures Subteam Lead
-
Jun 2022 - Present
Responsible for organizing and leading the structures subteam of Design Build Fly. Design structural systems of aircraft, including but not limited to wing rib structure, wing spar placement, tail booms, and fasteners. Innovate new structural systems using generative design with Fusion 360. Lead FEA analysis of structural integrity of whole aircraft and individual parts using Ansys. Perform physical stress tests of various aircraft parts.

Sep 2021 - Jun 2022
Proactive member in aerodynamics, structures, and manufacturing subteams.Aerodynamics: Analyzed dozens of airfoils and selected one for the aircraft. Used MATLAB to analyze optimal sizing for various control and stability surfaces for competition aircraft. Analyzed whole aircraft, airfoils, wings, and several control surface configurations using Solidworks CFDStructures: Used Ansys FEA to conduct stress simulations on various aircraft parts, including the fuselage, wings, and tail section. Obtained maximum stress, strain, and deflection values and interpreted them to evaluate the structural integrity of competition aircraft.Manufacturing: Used 3D Printers, Laser Cutters, and various hand tools to assist in constructing competition aircraft. Performed carbon fiber layups to construct the fuselage, wings, wingtips, and nose cone of the aircraft. Show less

Jun 2022 - Present
UCLA's Engineering Design Summer Institute is an intensive three week program for high schoolers, in which they learn the principles of engineering, develop engineering skills, and build a group project. The group projects are planes, rockets, go-karts, or rovers. The classes are led by university students. I am one of the two mentors teaching the planes class. In this position I have: -Taught two groups of high schoolers for 3 weeks each, for a total of 6 weeks -Taught fundamental physics of flight, engineering principles, CAD, various manufacturing techniques, and aerospace engineering concepts necessary to build a working remote-controlled aircraft -Led and supervised the manufacturing of said aircraft -Introduced and led CFD and FEA simulations to evaluate performance of the aircraft -Worked with students of different skill levels, backgrounds, and motivation levels -Organized logistics such as fly-day events, delivery of large materials and COVID cases within the classes Show less

Hosted video conferences and club-wide Q&A’s with physicists from around the country, which provides career information to students. Prepared and organized a group for F=MA, a national physics competition previously not hosted at Del Norte. Ran experiments to excite students about physics. Started middle school branch at D39 campus, in which I: -Exposed middle schoolers to elementary mechanical, electrical, and thermal physics through exciting activities and engaging lectures -Incited a passion for physics in young kids who don’t learn or explore physics at school in hopes that they pursue the field in high school Show less
