Relevant Coursework and Project experience:

Fluid Mechanics and Computational Fluid Dynamics

• Knowledge of incompressible/compressible flow, turbulent flows, heat transfer and acoustics.

• Wrote multiple CFD codes solving the complete Navier-Stokes equations for several geometries using both Matlab and the Python scripting language.

• Completed project work that included computer codes written in Python and Matlab that simulated Sod’s shock tube using multiple numerical methods.

• Completed project work that included data collection and Brayton cycle analysis of a jet engine.

Dynamics and Controls

• Courses in dynamics, controls, and atmospheric flight dynamics.

• Completed a project using Matlab to model the flight dynamics of and in the design of a yaw control system for the Boeing 747-100.

• Class work in modeling and control of mechanical and electrical systems.
