In August 2023, served as an intern with a small team that engineered velodrome cyclist apparel and conducted data analytics on wind tunnel experiments. The project optimized the induced turbulent boundary layer around the athlete’s critical limbs to significantly reduce the coefficient of drag. Each cyclist required a tailored apparel solution, accounting for unique geometry, riding position, and competitive discipline. Wearing the optimized suits, Cycling New Zealand secured five medals at the 2024 Paris Olympic Games (two gold, two silver, one bronze).

In 2025, served as the coordinating engineer for a performance system analysis project supporting Alpine skiers preparing for the 2026 Milan Winter Olympic Games. Developed a wind tunnel test plan to optimize athlete position and race suit textile design. To rapidly prototype textile roughness, 3D-printed geometries were directly integrated into the pores of textiles. The project successfully informed coaching staff of optimal competition positions and achieved significant aerodynamic drag reduction directly from the race suit textile.
