Wind load analysis of a 35 m deep space antenna was conducted using ANSYS ICEM for meshing and ANSYS CFX for simulation. Through iterative refinement, the overall error was reduced from 50% to 20%, with localised deviations falling below 5% in some regions.

Supported the Structural Analysis team in the Mechanical Department through literature research and simulations using ANSYS CFX and Fluent; also assisted with CAD modelling tasks using AutoCAD and CATIA V5.

Developed and simulated an aircraft engine model in Ebsilon Professional, with individual component modelling; supported analysis and data processing using MATLAB.

Designed 3D tank geometries using CATIA V5 and FreeCAD; prepared components for 3D printing with UltiMaker Cura, and OctoPrint. Developed a simple actuator control GUI using Intermediate Node-RED and gained basic experience with COMSOL Multiphysics, MATLAB, and Python.
