Created 3 preliminary designs of a rear automobile spoiler with different aerodynamical features to lower drag resistance Refined proposals by analyzing CFD simulations of the spoiler, resulting in a drag reduction of 3 counts Researched parameters such as micro-drag and helicity and presented the findings to colleagues to be used in vortex analyses Built a static pressure measurement system on a standard automobile within a modern wind tunnel, facilitating comparative analysis with other facilities

Assembled a large rooftop terrace frame by cutting precisely measured steel pipes with a band saw and MIG welding the aligned parts together Fabricated individual components using a drill press and thread tap as well as a CNC milling machine to meet technical drawings and plans Facilitated customers in fulfilling requests by constructing models and discussing project requirements as well as feasibility of the manufacturing process
