I like to solve complex problems using digital tools for both design and simulation. After design and analysis I use manufacturing methods such as additive (3D-Printing) and subtractive (CNC Mill, etc.) to bring the idea to life.

I have a rapid prototyping design cycle that I am constantly refining.
Measuring Enviornmental Boundary Layer Height. VKI is equipped with the largest low-speed wind tunnel in Belgium, the so-called L1. It consists of a 3×2 m2 test section with a 20 m long rough floor to develop atmospheric boundary layers up to 50 m/s. The wind tunnel is instrumented with a six component balance for aerodynamic testing.
I teach/coach both conventional and generative CAD Design.
I teach/coach CFD/Thermal and FEA Analysis Techniques for both metal/plastic structures and composites.
I worked on FAA Certified Flight Test hardware, designed and worked on multiple hover test vehicles for lunar landings, flew GoPro Hero4s to 130,000 feet in Roswell, NM to capture sunrise, built bio-medical instrumentation experiments, worked on a waste to energy plasma reactor, designed four micro-gravity slosh dynamics experiments on parabolic flights, and ran 3 test sessions on the International Space Station in Collaboration with MIT SPHERES (Link to ISS Test Video Test Session #20).
I want to design better futures for my children and those to come.
I am working on some secret projects with close friends, I hope to be able to announce soon.
