Aerodynamics testing and ML-driven design optimization on Toyota's Vehicle Aerodynamics R&D team.

As an Aerodynamics co-op within Toyota Motor North America's Research and Development organization, I work on the Vehicle Aerodynamics team, conducting aerodynamics testing and benchmarking to validate design performance across vehicle platforms. I built an aerodynamic database that aggregates performance data to enable machine-learning-driven design optimization, and I partner with the Toyota Research Institute to develop an AI-powered tool for predicting aerodynamic drag during the early design phase. The role sits at the intersection of aerospace-grade aerodynamics, data engineering, and applied AI.
