Design, manufacturing, and flight testing of a lightweight payload-focused aircraft
Developed a lightweight fixed-wing aircraft for the SAE Aero Design Competition Micro Class, optimized for payload efficiency, short takeoff performance, and rapid iteration under strict power constraints.
Fuselage design, CAD development, and system integration for a hybrid tilt-rotor aircraft
Developed a hybrid VTOL aircraft for the SAE Aero Design Competition Advanced Class, capable of vertical takeoff and transition to fixed-wing flight. Primary contributions focused on CAD development of the fuselage and overall aircraft architecture, supporting integration of propulsion, control systems, and structural components within a compact airframe.
End-to-end design and implementation of a 4-axis CNC foam cutting machine for fast, repeatable aerodynamic component fabrication
Designed and built a 4-axis CNC foam cutting machine for rapid fabrication of aerodynamic components used in SAE and VTOL projects.
Assistive device design, low-force actuation, CAD prototyping, and ergonomic optimization
Designed and prototyped an assistive device enabling hands-free dog waste collection for users with limited grip strength and mobility.
