Modeling and Simulation to Solve Aerospace Design Challenges
Modeling and simulation have become a necessary part of even the most rudimentary engineering projects. Whether a design team uses an Excel spreadsheet or a complicated in-house piece of software, building a model of a design enables a team to change design parameters and determine how those changes affect the performance without the need to actually build something physical.
My experience with solving complex engineering challenges using models spans a variety of tools and projects. I have experience writing my own models using Python, MATLAB, and other languages, as well as utilizing hardware-in-the-loop modeling to accomplish system verification. For examples of some of my modeling and simulation, refer to my Portfolio.
Developing a model of a spacecraft or launch platform involves multiple variables and parameters, many of which are interdependent. To fully utilize the potential of a model, it is necessary to take advantage of optimization techniques and tools such as artificial intelligence and machine learning.
I have experience with various forms of modeling and simulation techniques as they apply to aerospace, enabling me to make the most of computer-aided engineering solutions. For additional details regarding my experience with M&S, please contact me.
