Projects
Boeing Internship
I worked within the Boeing Commercial Airplanes division as a Flight Operations Intern, first in the Dispatch Requirements Group, then the Airframe Integration Team. My work pertained to data organization, simulation, and documentation.

Project #1: FEA on Damages
Background
​
For maintenance engineering, Flight Operations analyzes peak stress concentrations on areas of damage to the aircraft's fuselage, modeled as holes on a sandwich panel.
Goal
​
Use FEA to solve for these peak stresses in samples of potential damages.

Project #2: MMEL and DDG Revisions
Background
The MMEL (Master Minumum Equipment List) is a document enabling each model of Boeing aircraft to dispatch and fly even when certain equipment or subsystems on the aircraft aren't fully functional. New versions are published every few years, so the engineers on my team had to process revisions made to the MMEL and a corresponding document called the Dispatch Deviation Guide (DDG) which outlines flight procedures. The spreadsheets and trackers used by my team were not standardized, hence data was not logged uniformly.
​
Goal
​
Standardize how the team tracks changes made to the MMEL and DDG.
