– Build and validate finite element models to analyze stiffness-to-weight trade-offs under complex aerodynamic load ing, translating physical requirements into quantitative design criteria. – Interpret pressure distributions and load paths to support engineering decisions, requiring careful reasoning about coupled physical phenomena.

– Designed a multi-element rear wing, applying turbulence modeling (k–ω SST) and boundary-layer theory to control flow separation and wake behavior. – Ran and post-processed CFD simulations, evaluating solver convergence, mesh quality, and physical plausibility of results — a rigorous, methodical evaluation process.

– Performed topology optimization (nTop) with finite-element validation (3DEXPERIENCE) under multiple load cases, balancing competing constraints through structured trade-off analysis. – Achieved a 15% mass reduction while preserving stiffness under peak braking loads.
