Hieu Nguyen
I'm Hieu Nguyen, an Aerospace Engineering major at UCLA with a passion for fighter jets, rockets, F1 cars, robotics, and renewable energy. My extensive experience spans several aspects of numerical analysis, including Finite Element Analysis (FEA) using SolidWorks, Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) through Ansys Fluent, MATLAB, and COMSOL, and optimization algorithms such as genetic algorithms and convex optimization.
In addition to numerical analysis, I am actively involved in the design aspects, utilizing SolidWorks and AutoCAD. I've honed these skills through numerous projects, research laboratories, and internships.
