As a powertrain team member on Georgia Tech Motorsports, I worked on improving vehicle performance through both simulation and testing. I optimized the radiator placement and cooling duct geometry using CFD to model airflow and reduce wake effects, then built a makeshift wind tunnel to experimentally validate the simulation results.

Alongside this work, I tested and maintained the engine dynamometer to measure RPM and torque, and contributed to fabrication efforts by laying carbon fiber with epoxy for a custom exhaust pipe. This experience combined computational analysis, experimental validation, and practical manufacturing in a fast-paced, student-led racing environment.
