Rocket nozzle
I sized the flow path, modeled the nozzle and adapter, and checked the pressure load before fabricating a resin prototype.
Pressure FEA: minimum factor of safety 2.12

Aaron Lin · Boston University · Class of 2028
Hi, I'm Aaron. I build and test mechanical systems.
I'm a mechanical engineering junior at Boston University, concentrating in aerospace. I design parts in CAD, check them with analysis, then build and test them through BURPG and course projects.
I'm looking for a Summer 2027 internship in mechanical design, aerospace, or product development. I expect to graduate in May 2028.
Selected projects
Rocket hardware, an autonomous cleaning robot, and the calculations, drawings, and tests behind them.
The Deskinator
I wrote the Arduino navigation firmware and helped assemble and redesign an autonomous desk-cleaning robot.
Documented suction trial: 72 of 95 rice grains collected

Recent experience at Culturon
During my Spring 2026 internship at Culturon in Sydney, I ran optical emission spectroscopy experiments and wrote Python tools to process plasma spectra. I also prepared a benchmarking report comparing the system with a reference plasma chamber.
Tools I use
- CAD and analysis: SolidWorks, SolidWorks Simulation, Onshape, ANSYS Fluent, OpenRocket, GD&T fundamentals, structural FEA, and compressible flow. My propulsion and aerodynamic work is with BU Rocket Propulsion Group.
- Programming and electronics: Python, MATLAB, Arduino C++, sensors, soldering, and electronics assembly.
- Fabrication: FDM and resin printing, CNC machining, and manual lathe and mill experience.
Get in touch
If you’re hiring for Summer 2027, I’d be glad to talk about design, prototyping, or test work.
