Purdue Aeronautics & Astronautics
Design and analysis for manufacturable mechanical systems. Selected work follows the same loop: requirements, CAD, simulation, and iteration.
Summary from submitted project reports and current résumé.
Aerospace engineering student focused on design, simulation, and manufacturable mechanical systems. This site highlights four projects that demonstrate a complete engineering workflow: defining requirements, building CAD models, running simulations, identifying weaknesses, and iterating toward validated designs.
