A Bit About Me
I am an Aerospace Engineer with a Master of Science (M.Sc.) in Aerospace Engineering, specialising in the Flight Performance and Propulsion track, and an International Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical, Material, and Aerospace Engineering. My academic background equips me with a robust understanding of both the foundational and advanced aspects of aircraft design, performance, and propulsion systems.
​
With a rich multicultural background shaped by living in 7 countries, I bring a global perspective and strong adaptability to my work. This experience has honed my ability to collaborate effectively within diverse teams and communicate complex ideas across cultural boundaries.
​
Professionally, I have accumulated 17 months of hands-on experience through internships and industrial placements, giving me practical insight into the challenges and opportunities within the aerospace sector. My expertise spans flight performance, propulsion technologies, noise reduction, climate impact assessment, and the integration of hydrogen-based solutions for cleaner aviation.
​
I am passionate about the ongoing transformation in aviation technology and am particularly excited by emerging concepts such as blended wing bodies, strut-braced wings, and distributed electric propulsion systems. The industry’s shift toward eco-friendly aircraft—using batteries or hydrogen—motivates me to contribute to innovative designs that reduce environmental impact while maintaining high performance and safety standards.
​
In my spare time, I enjoy watching air crash investigations and learning about the evolving regulations aimed at improving aviation safety and preventing incidents. I believe that understanding both the engineering and regulatory aspects of aviation is essential for advancing the field.

Work Experience
August 2022 - November 2022
March 2022 - June 2022
April 2020 - July 2020
As an LCA (Life Cycle Assessment) Intern at Collins Aerospace, I developed a fuel burn model to calculate emissions and assess climate impact and cost efficiency for a next-generation cabin concept in aviation. I automated data collection from engineering drawings using OCR-based code to streamline the LCA process, and evaluated the replacement of aluminium with CFRP in aircraft interiors, demonstrating that weight reduction in the operational phase significantly decreased emissions.
As a KBE Programming Intern at GKN Aerospace, I automated the CAD generation process for the Turbine Rear Structure (TRS) of a turbofan engine using Python and object-oriented programming in the ParaPy KBE platform. I developed a tool to generate and mesh CAD models from input dimensions, reducing design time from hours to minutes while ensuring consistency and accuracy.
As an Intern at MECALAM, I programmed interpolation code for spiral bevel gear tooth surface profiles based on real measurements of coordinates and normal vectors, and researched its viability for extrapolation of the tooth surface.
