During my summer internship with Mach Industries, I worked as a computer science intern to analyze the current propulsion system, predict performance, simulate the engine, and develop the next iteration of the system. I used software tools like OpenMDAO to model the current engine and predict behavior for a variety of environmental conditions. Afterward, I designed the propulsion system's next iteration, which created 60% more thrust to allow the aircraft to take off vertically. Finally, I built software and compatible hardware to work with National Instrument modules to allow for seamless data collection and logging.
