What I'm looking for

I’m looking to contribute to full-cycle aircraft concept design—combining CAD geometry, CFD/FEA analysis, and flight-simulation validation to improve aerodynamics and performance in a research-driven engineering team.

I’m an Aircraft Design Engineer with a Specialist degree (equivalent of BSc and MSc) in Aircraft Design & Engineering from Moscow Aviation Institute, focused on full-cycle conceptual aircraft development. I work from market analysis and preliminary sizing through aerodynamic validation, flight simulation, and propulsion concept design.

I’m proficient in CAD and aircraft geometry development with Siemens NX, CATIA, and OpenVSP, and I use advanced analysis tools to test ideas early. For aerodynamic work, I rely on STAR-CCM+, SU2, ANSYS Fluent, XFLR5, and Flow5, including meshing and post-processing workflows with Salome, Gmsh, and ParaView.

My engineering approach also covers structural and performance verification. I conduct structural relocation analysis using ANSYS Mechanical and Abaqus, and I validate handling qualities and stability with FoilMaker, PlaneMaker, and X-Plane 11—so designs are assessed in both physics and flight behavior.

I authored a diploma thesis on a high-capacity ultra-long-range passenger aircraft featuring an elliptical fuselage, a crescent-shaped wing, and anti-shock bodies, with aerodynamic concepts validated through CFD and flight simulation. I also bring practical team experience from internships, including research work under a senior research engineer at Yakovlev Design Bureau (PJSC Yakovlev).
