Engineering Portfolio

Engineering Projects

A selection of engineering projects completed during my undergraduate studies, MSc, and professional experience.

Kinetic Modelling Study of Alternative Aviation Fuels

Investigated six kerosene surrogate kinetic mechanisms using ANSYS Chemkin-Pro. Validated laminar flame speed and ignition delay predictions against published experimental data.

Tricopter UAV Design and Development

Designed and developed a lightweight tricopter UAV, including CAD design, manufacturing, avionics integration, and prototype assembly.

Composite Wing Design Using Ply Drop-Off

Validated a published composite laminate model before applying the methodology to the structural analysis of a NACA 0012 composite wing using ANSYS ACP.

Micro Air Vehicle Aerodynamic Design & Optimisation

Designed and optimised a fixed-wing micro air vehicle using MATLAB and XFOIL. Evaluated aspect ratio, airfoil performance and thrust requirements to select the optimum wing configuration.

Electric Vehicle Conversion & Propulsion System Design

Designed an electric vehicle conversion powertrain, including motor selection, transmission design, tractive effort analysis, gear design and structural validation using ANSYS.

Formula 1 Aerodynamic Design & CFD Optimisation

Designed and optimised a Formula 1 car concept for the 2026 FIA regulations using CATIA and SimScale CFD, evaluating aerodynamic performance through iterative front wing, rear wing and floor development.

Industrial Training – Hindustan Aeronautics Limited

Completed industrial training at HAL, gaining practical exposure to aircraft maintenance, overhaul, quality assurance and aerospace engineering practices.
