Research summary
AI-generated

This researcher works on rotorcraft and multirotor aircraft engineering, focusing on aerodynamics, wind tunnel testing, and structural/vibration analysis of rotors and drones (UAS). Much of the work involves experimental testing and computational fluid dynamics (CFD) modeling to understand how rotor blades and small aircraft configurations behave under different flight conditions, often in collaboration with NASA facilities. A few unrelated publications on health care and service-learning projects also appear in the record, likely from student engineering design coursework rather than the core research focus.
