EXPERIENCE

Graduate Research Assistant Aug 2016 -May 2017

Florida International University Miami, Florida

Worked on the research project “Effect of Shooting and Blast-Induced Gust on Nonlinear Aeroelastic Stability and Behavior of High-Aspect Ratio Wing”.

The effect of gun placement along the wing axis with different offset values was studied.

The flutter characteristics of each configurations were obtained.

Frequency domain and nonlinear time domain analysis were conducted.

Results indicated that the proper gun placement along the wing reduced the undesirable effects of gust and impulse due to the shooting.

Experience of working in laboratory environment and proficient user of HPC. PROJECTS
