2020-2021 AIAA SciTech Paper
I recieved the President's Undergraduate Research Award (PURA) grant from Georgia Tech for the Fall 2020 Semester. This award allowed me to pursue an extension of my undergraduate research related to gas turbine engines. In this project I explored additively manufactured variable inlet guide vanes (VIVG) and how they affected the performance of a small gas turbine.
2019-2020 AIAA Engine Design Paper
After taking courses in component and cycle design, I wanted to participate in the AIAA Engine Design Competition again. This year we designed a candidate engine for a supersonic buisiness jet. I am particularly proud of the improvement in the cycle analysis and the turbomachinary design compared to two years ago.
2017-2018 AIAA Engine Design Paper
-In the spring of 2018, a couple of my classmates and I participated in the AIAA Engine Design Competition. This years competition focused on designing an engine for a 100 passenger supersonic transport. I learned how to model Jet engines in NPSS and WATE++, as well basic Turbomachinery design.
