1. Mechanical Rocket & Canard Integration

I’m currently leading an initiative at MetRocketry to design a fully mechanical rocket, a significant step toward raising our team’s engineering standards. This project will require highly intentional design, with a strong focus on manufacturability and reliability. As part of this effort, we also aim to integrate stabilized, controlled canards, which will introduce aerodynamic complexity and open new possibilities in active flight control.

2. MATLAB & Machine Learning Development

To support this next phase in design and control systems, I’m actively developing my skills in MATLAB simulation, particularly for canard modeling and response analysis. In parallel, I’ve been building on my undergraduate exposure to Python-based machine learning, recognizing its potential in system optimization, predictive control, and data-driven decision making.

3. Visual Simulation with Unreal Engine

I’ve recently begun exploring Unreal Engine, which has proven to be one of the most exciting tools for visualizing complex systems. Combining its capabilities with data output from MATLAB could create immersive visual simulations that better communicate a design’s behavior and feasibility, this is a step toward more interactive engineering reviews and stakeholder engagement.

4. Summer Project – RC Plane

As a personal summer project, I’m designing and building a remote-controlled plane, with the goal of deepening my hands-on experience in aerodynamics, electronics, and Arduino based control systems. While I’ve worked with Arduino during my time at MetRocketry, this project will allow me to experiment further and push the boundaries of what I can create independently.
