My name is Param Patel, and I am a hardworking and passionate Aerospace Engineering student with a minor in Computer Science studying at Texas A&M University. Through my experiences in undergraduate research and design teams, I have gained hands-on experience and technical knowledge on research, design, manufacturing, testing, and documenting the engineering process. Furthermore, through these experiences, I have gained teamwork and leadership experience.

Currently, I am researching at the National Aerothermochemistry and Hypersonic Laboratory, where I am developing a sensor for the Hypervelocity Expansion Tunnel (HXT) to detect when the vacuum is active. Additionally, I have created a compressible aerodynamics calculator in Python. In another research project at the Immersive Mechanics Visualization Laboratory, I am implementing Finite Element Analysis (FEA) models into a VR environment using Unity Engine for educational purposes.
