I build aerospace, robotics, and engineering projects.
I'm interested in pursuing a degree in Aerospace Engineering, with a minor in Robotics or Artificial Intelligence. I work on hands-on projects involving robotics, CAD, prototyping, and engineering research, with a focus on designing, building, and testing real systems.

Rotational Damping & Geometry
Quantifying Rotational Damping in Free-Body Systems via Geometry-Induced Differential Aerodynamic Drag
Abstract
Investigated how geometry-induced aerodynamic drag affects rotational damping in freely rotating systems. Seven geometries were designed and 3D printed, varying blade shape, surface area, and configuration to study how each design influenced the rate of rotational decay. An experimental test setup spun each geometry under controlled conditions, recorded its rotational behavior over time, and compared the resulting decay curves.
