Looking for a Summer 2027 internship
I design physical parts and use simulation to make them better.
I’m a third-year aeronautical engineering student at the University of Limerick, on placement at SR Technics in Cork and leading rear-wing development for Formula Student UL. My work so far covers airfoil and wing analysis, wind-tunnel testing, and designing flight hardware for a student rocket.
Selected projects
-
Avionics and payload bays for a two-stage rocket
Designed and built the bays that carry the flight electronics in both stages of ULAS HiPR’s Dullahan rocket, from requirements through CAD and topology optimisation to workshop manufacture.
-
Preliminary Aerodynamic Design and Wing Optimisation for a Hypothetical Electric General Aviation Aircraft
Screened 170+ NACA airfoils with a Python and XFOIL workflow, then shaped the wing in XFLR5 for cruise efficiency. Cruise glide ratio 31.46.
-
Experimental Investigation of Two- and Three-Dimensional Aerodynamics of a NACA 4412 Airfoil
2D and 3D wind-tunnel tests compared against XFLR5, theory and published data, in a team of five.
All projects, including the Formula Student rear wing (in progress)
Tools, by how much I’ve used them
Use regularly
- SolidWorks Certified Associate (CSWA)
- Python analysis and automation
- XFLR5 / XFOIL
- SQL reporting at SR Technics
Used on a project
- Altair HyperWorks topology optimisation, HiPR
- GD&T and tolerancing
- Excel vehicle performance model
- MATLAB, LaTeX
Learning now
- ANSYS Fluent
- FEA and structural analysis
