Hybrid Rocket Engine Development and Testing

I supporting engine research and development for the first student built rocket engine at McGill University. The and I iterated through a variety of designs, performed simulations and tested manufacturing techniques. Finally, we moved into the testing phase and were able to obtain meaningful data to validate our models.

Hybrid Rocket Flow Control Design Project

For my final year undergraduate design project I designed and analyzed hybrid rocket engine flow control system. I worked in a team of two to optimized the nozzle, piping, and pyrotechnic flow actuation devices for easy ignition and operation.
