Contributed to the PURPL-Purdue/Turbopump repository by enhancing its material database and refining heat transfer configuration management. Over two months, expanded the materials.yaml file to include Aluminum 7075 and Aluminum 1100, providing detailed thermal properties to support more accurate heat transfer simulations. Updated heat_transfer.yaml to reflect new graphite insert specifications, improving modeling fidelity and supporting reproducible configuration management. Leveraged YAML for structured data management, applying skills in material science, thermal analysis, and engineering design. The work enabled faster design iterations and more reliable sensitivity analyses, directly supporting improved decision-making and simulation readiness without introducing or resolving major bugs during this period.
