Summary
Ujjwal Dalmia is a Senior Aerospace Engineer based in the San Francisco Bay Area with seven years of hands-on experience in aerodynamic design optimization and CFD-driven aircraft performance analysis. He has contributed across startups and industry — from supersonic sonic-boom prediction at Exosonic to VTOL and cargo-autonomy work at Volansi and Elroy Air — combining aeroanalysis, flight test support, and embedded robotics software. Ujjwal blends high-fidelity CFD, rapid low/medium-fidelity performance models, and practical test validation to accelerate development cycles for eVTOL and hybrid aircraft. He’s implemented physics-based modeling improvements (including BAY vortex-generator approaches) and authored automation and calibration workflows that reduced setup time for repeated analyses. Comfortable moving between code, hardware, and flight test, he has also shipped ROS2 C++ packages, designed PCBs/harnesses, and led subscale flight validation efforts. His cross-disciplinary background and academic work at Stanford and Purdue let him translate complex aerodynamic phenomena into deployable aircraft subsystems and repeatable engineering processes.
