Structural analysis, fatigue modelling, and systems-level thinking for defence and aerospace applications.
Design audit and fatigue analysis of a trailer leaf spring hanger bracket. Four critical load cases, von Mises stresses compared against ANSYS FEA.
Modified Goodman criteria with 99.9% reliability factor and Kf = 2.7 for as-welded geometry. Factor of safety: 4.39. Infinite life confirmed.
I am a third-year Mechanical Engineering (Honours) student at QUT with an Aerospace Minor. My approach to engineering is grounded in first principles: I decompose systems into their load paths, control surfaces, and failure modes, then build analytical models rigorous enough to trust.
My technical focus spans structural analysis, fatigue modelling, kinematics, and thermodynamic systems. Alongside this I maintain a strong interest in Australian sovereign defence capability, autonomous aerospace systems, and the strategic context in which platforms like the MQ-28A Ghost Bat operate.
Currently contributing to QUT Aerospace Society's fixed-wing UAS programme. Seeking a 2026 internship in aerospace, defence, or advanced manufacturing.
