About
I'm a graduate Aerospace Engineer from the Institute of Space Technology, Islamabad, with a focused interest in CFD and aerodynamic analysis. I have hands-on experience in propulsion testing, computational simulation, and CAD design, gained through university research labs and independent projects.
I work primarily in ANSYS Fluent and XFLR5 for CFD and aerodynamic analysis, and SolidWorks for 3D modeling and CAD design. I'm also comfortable in MATLAB and Python for data processing and simulation support, and I use LaTeX for technical documentation.
My project work includes CFD analysis of a variable area ratio nozzle (validated against isentropic theory and the Summerfield separation criterion), aerodynamic analysis of a NACA 4511 airfoil, aero-vehicle performance analysis of the Airbus A350-900, and CAD/3D modeling of a helicopter airframe and quadcopter drone.
I'm detail-oriented, research-driven, and genuinely enjoy propulsion and aerodynamics work. I'd welcome the opportunity to bring that focus and rigor to your project.
