I am a Masters student in Aerospace Engineering working on the study and modeling of atmospheric ice particles' interactions with hypersonic shocks using aerothermal and aeroelastic models such as Direct Simulation Monte Carlo (DSMC) coupled with Lattice Boltzmann (thermal) and Lattice Particle (elastic) Methods.
In the past, I have performed trajectory modeling for NASA's Dragonfly Mission, developing a POST2 simulation reconstructing Huygens' entry, descent, and landing sequence to validate Titan's atmospheric model.
My research interests also extend to motorsport aerodynamics and flight mechanics.
