Hello! My name is Molly Drumm, and I'm a recent Cornell University grad with a Bachelors and Masters in Mechanical Engineering. This is a digital portfolio about my various school projects and work experience. Please feel free to contact me at maxdrumm2000@gmail.com with any questions!

For my master of engineering project I used Fourier series and spherical harmonics to smooth a beating heart model in time and space.
I had the chance to run some CFD simulations and come up with a more aerodynamic design for the battlebot Bloodsport's weapon blade.
Projects from my time on CRC, including the two 12 lb robots I worked on that we brought to competition!
- Collaborated with professor to create and prepare learning materials and projects for the CFD and FEA classes.
- Aided students in office hours and class by answering questions about FEA and CFD simulations in ANSYS.
- Graded student homework and exams for the CFD and FEA classes.
- Developed a more in depth understanding of simulation tools such as ANSYS Fluent, Mechanical, and Topology Optimization as well as Autodesk Generative Design.
- Completed course on turbomachinery CFD with emphasis on turbulence modeling, numerics, and meshing.
- Implemented two novel data reduction methods in Python and Fortran 77.
- Performed assessment of test hardware using NX to ensure compatibility with future test configurations.
- Performed quality assessments of as-manufactured hardware for test.
- Analyzed CFD results for a thermoplastic extruder that makes custom multi-lumen catheters and used data to modify extrusion tooling in Autodesk Inventor through 10 design iterations to improve flow distribution.
- Researched the yield strengths and elastic moduli of three different extruded thermoplastics at high temperatures, conducted tensile tests, and analyzed experimental yield stress to assess the viability of coreless extrusion.
- Researched possible materials to replace the fiberglass wrap on extruder heads to keep workers safe from burns. Designed a ceramic piece assembly in CAD to fit over and attach to the extruder head to work as a heat guard.
