Formula Student Technion
Aerodynamics Lead
Performed conjugate heat transfer simulations on electronic components (like the battery accumulator).
Led the aerodynamic design of the rear wing, cooling ducts, wing elements and body panels.
Verified the design using CFD software (STAR-CCM+ & Ansys Fluent), optimized the design using FEA tools (SolidWorks Simulation & Altair Inspire).
Performed wind tunnel testing to validate CFD simulation results.
Managed the team's 3D printing and carbon fiber manufacturing.
Adapted new CFD methods, like cornering simulations, simulation workflow automation and adjoint based mesh refinement.

Technion Rocketry Club
Propulsion Engineer
Designed and analyzed LOX tanks for cryogenic operation in a blowdown regime.
Contributed to the atomizer design, to ensure even fuel-oxidizer mixing for consistent combustion.
Researched insulation and fail-safe methods, to ensure safety and compatibility with the local conditions.

FIRST FRC
CAD Mentor
An international robotics competition for high school students. I serve as a CAD mentor, helping students realise their ideas using SolidWorks and Onshape.
2022 - worked on the ball shooter (the robot ranked #2 nationally). The mechanism was lightweight, included a turret system for adjusting angles both horizontally and vertically, and able to autonomously calculate best shooting angle & velocity.
2023 - worked on the gripper (#8 nationally) - flexible to enable both cone and cube picking while consistent and robust. The robot finished the second annual competition with 12 wins and 0 losses.
2024 - served as the lead CAD mentor, the robot won the Israeli championship qualifying for worlds' championship. In addition, I worked on electronics and fabrication (3D printing & CNC).
Jul 2023 - present
Madatech - National Museum of Science, Technology and Space
Science Instructor
Served as science and robotics instructor, conducting exhilarating activities for pupils and museum visitors.
Conducted science experiments for children (DIY missiles and aeroplanes).
Led summer workshops to teach students Onshape and 3D printing/laser cutting.
Jun 2024 - Aug 2025
Freelance
Robotics Tutor
Teaching LEGO SPIKE robotics to elementary school students.
Jul 2023 - Sep 2024
Projects
Seven Minutes of Terror
Python
Implemented a 3-DOF Mars entry, descent & landing trajectory simulator covering hypersonic entry and deceleration, aerodynamic heating and heat shield ablation, parachute descent, and rocket-powered terminal descent.
CFD Solver
Python
Built a solver using finite-difference discretization of the Navier-Stokes equations with velocity/pressure field visualization. Currently extending to a lattice Boltzmann formulation.
