PROFESSIONAL EXPERIENCE

NEW YORK UNIVERSITY — New York, NY
2001
Research Assistant (Summer Position)
Reporting directly to Professor for New York’s Propulsion Research Facility performing research and analysis for various projects; data extrapolation; aerodynamics; CFD analysis and CAD drawings.
· Instrumental in managing complete set-up for solid motor rocket experiment; designed bed assembly and performed all CAD assignments utilizing AutoCAD.
· Collaborated with assistant professor regarding the usage and operation of the Waveview software for the new data extrapolation hardware to be used by thesis students; wrote a step-by-step technical manual for students on software use.
· Independently calculated aerodynamic coefficients for the RTD-1 at various altitudes in order to correlate CFD analysis results, enabling the matching of numbers in Missile Datcom program.
· Performed CFD analysis on RTD-1 and SPHADS vehicles to determine aerodynamic coefficients and visualize the flow over the rocket vehicles, resulting in possible design recommendations for both vehicles; testing and analysis, was performed in FLUENT.
· Created and developed all CAD drawings for experiments, including Solid Rocket Motor (SRM) Safety duct GA/Detailed, SRM Bed Assembly GA, SRM Bed Assembly Detailed, Small Payload High Altitude Delivery System (SPHADS) GA/Detailed, SPHADS 3D, and Rocket Glider Vehicle 3D.

EDUCATION-RELATED EXPERIENCE

NEW YORK UNIVERSITY — New York, NY
2001 – 2002
Student
· Appointed as Project Leader for numerous group projects, supervising small groups of 4-6 and assisting team members in troubleshooting problems.
· Collaborated with project team in successfully designing an International Space Station (ISS) module designed for regular experimental purposes. In case of emergencies, module had an ability to separate from the ISS and serve as a safe-haven to crew.
· Analyzed and interpreted information from data to develop a CFD model of an external flow over a rocket vehicle for thesis project; rocket vehicles were modeled in AutoCAD and meshed in Gambit, while CFD analysis was carried out in FLUENT.
