WORK HISTORY
Senior Aerospace Engineer (Contractor to U s Army Aviation and Missile Center) @Analytical Mechanics Associates
CA, US
My primary responsibilities involve performing high-fidelity overset CFD simulations for rotorcraft applications using CREATE-AV Helios, a multi-disciplinary computational suite developed by the US Army and DOD HPCMP CREATE-AV program. Some of the research highlights include,1. Successful verification and validation of the next-generation GPU-accelerated rotorcraft simulation software for accuracy, stability, and performance portability.2. Improved drag and wake predictions for complex coaxial rotor hub designs. This was a collaboration with University of Maryland and Pennsylvania State University.4. successful verification and validation studies for hover performance, rotor-fuselage aerodynamic interactions, and laminar-to-turbulent transition modeling on rotor blades.5. Analyzing aeroelastic phenomenon through CFD/CSD coupling. Developing custom pre- and post-processing tools in Python and C++ to automate workflows and enhance data analysis efficiency.
