Aerospace Engineering Portfolio
Hi, I'm Rushi.
Aerospace Engineering Graduate
Builder & Problem Solver
I recently graduated with a B.S. in Aerospace Engineering from NC State University, where I gained experience applying engineering concepts beyond simulation into practical, hands-on applications. My work included CAD modeling, 3D-printed component development, wind tunnel testing, flight testing, and prototype-level decision-making.
Most recently, I served as the thermal and financial lead for a NASA RASCAL lunar rover concept, contributing to both technical design development and project-level decision-making. My broader experience includes liquid rocket engine design, developing a CFD solver from scratch, and designing, building, and flight-testing a balsa wood glider using AVL.
Focus
Areas I like to work
Prototyping & Testing
3D printing, wind tunnel testing, strain-gauge testing, physical prototyping, and design iteration based on testing.
Systems & Product Thinking
Subsystem trade-offs, cost and performance constraints, technical documentation, project requirements, customer discovery, and aerospace product development.
