Collegiate Rocketry

  • Project Pegasus (IREC 2023)
  • My first major multi-disciplinary project. Pioneered a novel paraffin fuel blend that solved burn stability issues. UCF's first hybrid to fly. Chamber failure in flight. :/ - Read more...

  • Project Helios (IREC 2024)
  • Taking everything I learned from the previous year, Helios was set to break barriers beyond what any of us thought was achievable. Bordering on the P impulse class, hands down the most powerful rocket ever designed and tested by KXR and UCF. Nozzle failure during testing. - Read more...

  • Project SABR (Fall '24 - Spring '25)
  • My Senior Design project. Aiming to discover the operational limits of a Small-Scale H2/Air RDE combustor, and develop a ready to integrate solution for highly efficient propulsion needs. Success. - Read more...

  • Computed Tomography Image Processing
  • I developed MATLAB code that processes equally spaced X-ray exposures around an object and generates a 3D slice stack of the object's internal features. In order to get data to test and calibrate my program, I leveraged Blender to raytrace light going throug an .stl file and captured its scatter pattern on a surface. Read more...

Post-Graduate

Currently enrolled for a Master's in Aerospace Engineering, following a Thermo-fluids track. Currently planning on continuing the research carried out during my senior design project, with an AIAA SciTech Conference paper on the way. Stay tuned!
