• Involved in the R&D department for the electro-mechanical design and control of industrial RF power generators, including magnetron and solid-state technologies • Gained experience in translating requirements into mechanical and thermal design by using CAD, CFD and FEM, and generating BOM • Design of electronics fastening, connections and cooling systems, as well as being involved in developing RF components, like power amplifiers, combiners and waveguides • Change Analyst for the BU in Oracle Agile PLM

• Cooperative Intelligent Transport System (C-ITS) implementation analysis on the infrastructure side to enable infrastructure to vehicle (I2V) and vehicle to vehicle (V2V) communication for advanced assisted-driving • Participation in the European projects C-Roads and Datex2 for testing and implementing C-ITS services in light of member states cross-border harmonisation and interoperability

• Sustainable aviation research project focused on innovative hybrid-electric propulsion configurations with title: 'Quantifying BLI propulsion performance using the Power Balance Method' • Design and CFD analysis of a highly integrated propulsion system adopting a Boundary Layer Ingestion (BLI) • Implemented and validated Power Balance Method to numerically assess the aero- propulsive performance of the BLI system, quantifying a power saving of 16% compared with a conventional propulsion system

• Reproduced 3D turbine model in AxSTREAM Axial Turbine through reverse engineering of a heavy-industry gas turbine and 2D streamline analysis on 5-7 section spanwise for setting up the baseline • Toolchain of software including the turbine performance map in the gas turbine model using Gas turbine Simulation Program GSP • Achieved a potential upgrade of 1.3% in turbine efficiency with an aerodynamic re-design of the turbine blades and vanes
