biplane wind turbine blades

While pursuing my Ph.D. in aerospace engineering at UCLA, I developed a computer program to design a “biplane blade” for large wind turbines and measure its aero-structural performance. I published 2 papers, gave 3 conference presentations, and was awarded 1 patent on my work.

During this time, I also supervised and mentored 1 master’s student (leading to 1 publication) and 6 undergrads (5 who attended graduate school).
