      I am a part of the Aerodynamics, Stability and Controls sub-team for Micro Class. I designed many of the aerodynamic features of the aircraft using Solidworks (CAD) and Star-CMM+ (CFD). I also tested the stability of the aircraft using CFD and validated the results during flight test. As next season's Design Lead, I have already been involved in the recruitment of new members. Currently I am planning out the training that will performed on the new members during the summer. Afterwards, I will oversee/guide the design of the aircraft to ensure that the team is on a path to first place! Show less

      I began working on cars with my dad when I was around 5-6. Ever since then, I've learned a lot and have taken the lead. As a side business, my dad buys diesel trucks, fixes them and sells them for a profit. I have helped my dad make lot's of investment decisions, most based on automotive, and thus have helped provide for my low income household. I do all of the diagnostics and any major work. I have extensive experience in full engine rebuilds, electrical diagnosis, CAN BUS diagnosis, high pressure fuel systems (gas and diesel), turbocharging systems, suspension work, brake work, transmission work. All Diagnostics done on a Matco Maximus 2.0. I have lots of experience working on any light duty pick up truck with the following engines: Cummins 5.9 (12v - Common Rail) Cummins 6.7 (pre DEF), Duramax 6.6 (LB7, LLY, LBZ, LMM), Powerstroke (7.3, 6.0). I also own 3 BMWs, 750IL (e38), 540i (e39) and 335i (e90) which are my "project" cars. Show less

      Learned the derivations of different RANS models. Used pointwise to create 2D and 3D meshes. Used Ansys Fluent to compare the difference in heat-flux between the K-Omega SST model and the 7 Equation Reynolds Stress model. Learned the derivations of different RANS models.
