INDEPENDENT · 2024 →
aeroAUTO
A personal OpenFOAM workflow built around the Ahmed body — mesh-independence series end-to-end, pressure / wake / y⁺ inspection on the converged solution, with the DrivAer geometry queued as the next step away from the textbook test case.

INDEPENDENT · 2024 →
CFDLab — a two-book CFD codebase
An independent, ongoing Python implementation of the Lomax–Pulliam–Zingg two-book CFD curriculum — three structurally different quasi-1-D Euler solvers, an analytical-method probe layer, and CI-pinned numerical baselines.

ROLE · CONTRACT · 2025–2026
Sepal AI · reproducible aerospace analysis workflows
Aerospace engineering inside Sepal AI's task-based system — building reproducible analysis workflows, including constraint-driven fixed-wing UAV sizing, that someone without the original setup can re-run and trust.

MENG · UTIAS · 2023–2025
SBP operators and Gregory quadrature
MEng project with Prof. David Zingg on high-order summation-by-parts finite-difference operators and generalised Gregory quadrature rules for boundary closures.
-
UTAT · 2023–2025
UTAT wing MDO
Wing aerodynamics and a simple multidisciplinary design loop — nonlinear lifting-line coupled with beam-bending spar sizing — for the UTAT SAE Aero competition aircraft.
