NUSTARS Propulsion

This year I joined the newest NUSTARS project, only formed this summer! The aim is to design a liquid-fuel rocket engine from scratch. We are targeting a Spring 2026 test firing.

I am on the analysis team, aiding the design teams with sub- and supersonic flow CFD, isostatic pressure testing, heat transfer and thermal creep, as well as anything else needed to verify and validate design choices.
