Acoustics Intern
Pratt & Whitney Canada
Longueuil, Quebec, Canada
May 2024 - August 2024
• Employed MATLAB-based tools to perform the noise source breakdown analysis on data from recent turbofan PW812GA engine noise tests, successfully separating measured sound pressure levels into distinct turbofan noise sources such as the fan, compressor, turbine, jet, and core.
• Contributed to the verification and validation of the design by providing critical, well-refined noise component data, a key step in the final phase of engine development.
• Applied logic, good judgement, and prior engineering knowledge to interpret and effectively post-process the highly complex and often ambiguous engine noise data.
• Supported the creation of the library of sources containing noise separation results for the PW812D and PW812GA turbofan engines, incorporating data from both recent and past noise tests.
• Acquired knowledge of full-engine noise tests conducted by P&WC, including test setup, equipment, and fundamental acoustics principles, as well as the various noise sources in gas turbine engines and their relative contributions.
Oil Systems Design Support Intern
Pratt & Whitney Canada
Longueuil, Quebec, Canada
September 2023 - April 2024
• Utilized CATIA extensively for the design and generation of final oil-nozzle CAD drawings which were then manufactured and tested by an external supplier as part of the oil jets optimization campaign.
• Led the initial data extraction for the ongoing cold-start tests of P&WC oil pumps using Excel and presented the findings during a Technology Development Review (TDR) in front of multiple senior engineers and associate directors, securing continued project funding and support.
• Developed a GUI application in Python capable of managing, filtering, analyzing, and visualizing the large volume of data from the cold-start tests, thus providing designers with more accurate cold-start performance predictions. This tool will be integrated in the initial design phases of future oil pumps, thereby improving current P&WC design practices.
• Acquired industry-level knowledge in the design, CAD modeling and documentation of various parts such as oil pumps, nozzles, valves, and filters, all while adhering to P&WC specifications and standards.
• Coordinated the completion of a department-wide document consolidating the knowledge across all of Transmissions’ custodian teams for future use by designers and analysts.
• Conducted in-person visits to the shop floor, gaining firsthand exposure to real P&WC engines.
• Collaborated in a bilingual work environment in both English and French.
