Hi! I am Akash Patel.

I am an Aerospace engineer with experience working in aerospace, defense, and renewable energy industries. My research interests and work involves numerical analysis, simulation-driven product optimization, and physics-based machine learning.

I enjoy financial modeling of publicly traded companies and learning about all things semiconductors!

Fun Projects

• Reduced-order Modeling of Fluid Flows: Creates Reduced-order models using high-fidelity computational fluid dynamics (CFD) data. These ROMs run multiple orders of magnitude faster than high-fidelity CFD simulations.
• Discounted Cash Flow Analysis : A tool with graphical user interface for calculating fair value for publicly traded businesses (stocks). Request only 3 inputs from users and returns plethora of useful information about the fair value.
