A Wright Engineering

• Canada

• Aerodynamic Design Specialist

  • 2010 - 2020

  Provided technical and analytical expertise on multiple National Research Council Canada projects while concurrently working on doctoral degree. Mastered computational analytical tools such as MISES for airfoil design, GasTurb for gas turbine cycle design and ParaView for CFD post-processing. Designed a novel jet engine exhaust modeling test section that addressed the limitations of previous designs by integrating a cylindrical probe traverse mechanism. Used advanced 3D solid modeling techniques to design and prepare test section parts for manufacturing via traditional machine processes and modern stereo-lithography 3D printing techniques. Managed multiple CFD testing campaigns using commercial and open-source code as a means of rapid design iteration while testing hypotheses. Used experimental design skills to plan physical test campaign for economical and efficient validation of CFD simulations. Engaged programming knowledge to develop Python based scripts and executables to improve efficiency when analyzing large data sets. Published and presented research in international journals and conferences in clear, concise and accessible technical writing. Show less
