Aerospace engineer at AIROD Aviation who characterized an air-launched unmanned glider and delivered aerodynamic data to its flight dynamics model.
What I'm looking for
At AIROD Aviation Sdn Bhd, I led aerodynamic characterization of a folding-wing air-launched unmanned glider across deployment states and mechanisms. I built its geometry in OpenVSP, calculated aerodynamic performance with VSPAero, and ran external-flow simulations in OpenFOAM.
At Aerospace Technology Systems Corporation (ATSC) Sdn Bhd, I supported development of a practice munition for the Royal Malaysian Air Force Su-30MKM, producing aerodynamic coefficients, trajectory predictions, and flight clearance evidence. I also worked on store-separation analysis and reverse engineering of two aircraft cooling turbine components.
My work at ATSC also included a missile ejector launcher life extension programme and airworthiness documentation prepared to MSTAM and DGTA requirements. My PhD research at Universiti Putra Malaysia modelled bilayer iron powder compaction, with results validated against experimentally measured density distribution to better than 90 per cent correlation.
