Designing and Evaluating an Autonomous VTOL Tilt-Rotor Aircraft (AERO4460)
Aerospace Design 3 (AERO4460) tasked us to form groups and design an aircraft that could meet various requirements such as the ability to take off and land vertically, complete a round trip in a certain time requirement, and autonomous flight capability in GPS denied regions. I was primarily responsible for the aerodynamic design and evaluation of the aircraft while also contributing to the discussion regarding overall design choices.

Flight Simulation and Stability Analysis (AERO3560)
The final project for Flight Mechanics 1 was one of my favourite, taking us to construct a flight simulator governed by the full set of nonlinear equations for the 12/13 dimensional state vector.

Honours Thesis
I don't want to give away too much, as I am still completing the thesis, and I am also aiming to publish the work. The main areas of interest are surrogate models, dimensionality reduction, and uncertainty quantification.

Portfolio Construction (FINC3017)
The portfolio construction assignments in this course were the first time I really tried engaging with Excel in terms of efficiency with shortcuts, its more in-depth functionality like solver and macros, and the presentation of results within the spreadsheet. It was honestly a lot more enjoyable than I had initially anticipated.
