Descripción
My career in aerospace engineering has been defined by a relentless pursuit of aerodynamic efficiency. I specialize in computational fluid dynamics (CFD) for unmanned aerial vehicles, transforming complex 3D geometries into optimized, flight-ready airframes.
During my four years at an aviation design bureau, I led the aerodynamic profiling of a fixed-wing "flying wing" reconnaissance UAV. By meticulously refining the airfoil and optimizing the angle of attack distribution, I successfully reduced the parasitic drag by 14%, which directly translated to a 25 km increase in operational range. I also conducted extensive rotor-interference simulations for heavy hexacopters in hover mode, optimizing the motor spacing to eliminate turbulent wake ingestion.
My technical toolkit includes advanced mesh generation in Pointwise and ICEM CFD, coupled with rigorous steady-state and transient simulations in ANSYS Fluent and OpenFOAM. I am deeply comfortable calculating static and dynamic stability margins, ensuring that the aircraft remains controllable across the entire flight envelope.
I hold a Master's degree in Aerodynamics and Aircraft Design from a top-tier European Aerospace Institute. I have published three peer-reviewed papers on the geometric optimization of small-scale UAV airframes. I am looking for a challenging role in Toulouse, France, where I can bring my mathematical rigor and passion for flight to a forward-thinking engineering team.
