Vertical Axis Wind Turbine using Biodegradable Materials for low wind speed

Currently leading a capstone project under the supervision of Prof. Nikolaos Karathanasopoulos and Prof. Khaled Shahen, designing and optimizing a three-bladed H-type Vertical Axis Wind Turbine (VAWT) tailored for low-wind campus environments using sustainable biocomposite materials. The rotor integrates a hybrid NACA 0018 and J-blade configuration to maximize power coefficient, tip-speed ratio, and self-start capability at wind speeds as low as 4 m/s. High-fidelity CFD simulations in ANSYS Fluent and Workbench — spanning 2D steady-state, transient, and 3D analyses — were conducted across multiple blade geometries and Reynolds regimes before committing to a physical prototype standing 1 m tall with a 0.5 m rotor radius, capable of generating 125 W of clean electricity.

Lunar Regolith Analysis

Developed fully convolutional networks achieving 93% accuracy in segmenting lunar simulant images for enhanced surface analysis.

Rover Challenge

Led a 10-member team in the European Rover Challenge, designing and building a rover through Falcon Aerospace Engineering Club.

A large robot structure stands adjacent to a metal framework. The robot is designed with colorful panels, including red, blue, yellow, and white sections, giving it a futuristic and mechanical appearance. The background is a clear blue sky, creating a stark contrast with the detailed features of the robot and structure.

Research Publication

Published peer-reviewed research on powder technology, contributing to advancements in aerospace material processing.

A container labeled 'PURELY TANAKA' with the text '100% Pure Tanaka Powder' is placed on a flat, light-colored surface. Nearby is an empty wooden bowl with a small wooden spoon resting inside. Another 'PURELY TANAKA' branded box is also present. Part of a textured, light-colored object is partially visible in the top left corner.

A small figurine of an astronaut in a white spacesuit with colorful details stands beside a miniature lunar rover. The rover has red wheel covers and a dish antenna. The setting is softly lit, creating a warm and nostalgic ambiance.
A single-engine jet aircraft with a blue-gray exterior and a star emblem on the tail flies through the sky. A trail of bright flame is visible from the engine, indicating the aircraft is in motion. The sky is cloudy with soft gray and blue hues, creating a serene and dynamic scene.
A small, round robot with a smooth white surface and blue accents operates a blue laptop on a sleek, floating platform. The robot has glowing eyes and an antenna on its head, with an 'AI' emblem on its front.
