Associate Engineer

SpaceX

Built automation for aero-structural optimization, interfaced with NX and ANSYS tools, and set up fully coupled FSI simulations with robust structured grids.

Developed a program to automate aero-structural optimization, reducing design time by 20–200x.

Interfaced with NX and ANSYS Fluent, Mesher, and Mechanical using VB.NET, IronPython, and Scheme.

Set up fully coupled FSI simulations and generated deformation-robust structured grids.
