Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolZan Xu is a mechanical engineer specializing in aeronautical systems, graduating from the National University of Singapore with a 4.88/5.0 CAP and exchange experience at the University of Toronto. He has seven years of hands-on experience designing aerospace prototypes, from nano-satellites and remote-sensing concepts to Singapore’s first electrically powered personal flying machine, Snowstorm, which he helped design and launch. A consistent academic high achiever (Dean’s List five semesters, Faculty Book Prize), Zan pairs top-tier theoretical grounding with practical CAD expertise and CSWP/CSWA certifications in SolidWorks and proficiency in ANSYS and Inventor. His honors thesis focuses on CFD-driven geometric optimization for ducted-fan UAVs, reflecting a strong blend of simulation, optimization, and experimental validation. He has translated academic designs into industry tooling during an internship at Alstern Technologies, demonstrating an ability to move from concept to manufacturable hardware. Notably, his award-winning projects have been showcased internationally, indicating both technical merit and public engagement in aerospace innovation.
