About

Aerospace engineer with over 10 years of global experience in aircraft design, aerodynamic optimization, and propulsion integration—spanning both major aerospace OEMs and innovative AAM startups across North America, Europe, and Asia. I have led multi-disciplinary teams through the full development cycle, from early conceptual design to system simulation and flight test validation. My expertise covers the complete product lifecycle: defining and refining aircraft configurations, designing high-lift and propeller systems, executing wind tunnel and rig test campaigns, and developing CFD and machine learning frameworks to validate performance and support certification. Combining a strong foundation in applied aerodynamics with systems-level thinking, I bring a balance of engineering rigor and innovation. I’ve authored multiple papers at leading aerospace forums, hold patents in thermal management and integrated fuselage systems, and remain focused on developing certifiable, sustainable aviation technologies for the future of flight.

Lilium

Aerodynamics Consultant

Apr 2024Mar 2025 · 11 mos · Hybrid

  • At Lilium, I led cross-functional efforts to define thrust ratings and operational limits for the ducted fan propulsion system as part of certification-focused testing. I worked closely with teams across systems engineering, engine performance, and test operations to validate propulsion behavior on multiple test rigs.
  • Additionally, I was actively involved in design iteration and optimization of next-generation compressor and stator blades for the certification batch. I also oversaw the development, verification, and validation of the propulsion unit’s Simulink model by coordinating with stakeholders across E-motor control, flight dynamics, thermal systems, and actuation.
