Mechanical and aerospace design engineer specialised in structural design, composite materials and CAD/CAE for high-performance applications. As Structural Coordinator of the only Romanian student team at the Spaceport America Cup (IREC), I led the structural design, manufacturing and integration of fully student-built supersonic rockets that reached Mach 1.8 and about 9,700 m altitude, coordinating a multidisciplinary team of 15+ engineers through the complete design-to-production cycle. What I can do for you: - 3D CAD modelling and detailed design: CATIA, Fusion 360, AutoCAD - FEA / FEM structural analysis and optimisation: Ansys Mechanical, Ansys Workbench, Ansys APDL - CFD and aerodynamic analysis: Ansys Fluent, RASAero II, OpenRocket - Composite and hybrid laminate design (carbon, glass, Kevlar): stacking sequence, layup, manufacturing and testing - Design for manufacturing: FDM 3D printing, 3-axis CNC machining, turning - Engineering software and automation: Python, JavaScript/TypeScript, data analysis and custom analysis tools I am a PhD candidate in Mechanical Engineering at the National University of Science and Technology Politehnica Bucharest, researching the optimisation of hybrid polymer composites for supersonic rocket fuselages, with an MSc in Software Engineering and a BSc in Industrial Engineering from the same university. My work has been published and presented internationally (ScienceDirect, SSEA Munich, HPES, ESSIR), including flight-validated 3D-printed composite rocket structures. I also developed CLSA, a web platform for preliminary composite laminate design that computes A, B and D stiffness matrices, runs failure and buckling checks, and uses an AI agent to propose laminate configurations from natural-language requirements. I work in English and Romanian, communicate clearly, and deliver documented, manufacturable designs on schedule.
