Bibek Dhungana
Mechanical and Aerospace Engineer
About Me
Mechanical and Aerospace Engineer with extensive experience in UAV design, Mechanical system design, and flight dynamics. Earned a Bachelor's degree from Tribhuvan University, Nepal, followed by a Master's in Aerospace Engineering, focusing on the Stability of BWB VTOL UAVs. Successfully designed and fabricated an autonomous UAV, supported by a grant from Nepal's National Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Authority. Currently working as a Mechanical Design Engineer at Yatri Motorcycles working in the Electric Motorcycle/ Scooter projects. Previously contributed to R&D at Mach24Obritals, a rocket startup in Nepal, working on hybrid propulsion systems for LEO launch vehicles. Demonstrated expertise in designing and simulating flight dynamics and control systems, with hands-on experience in flight control hardware and algorithm development. Adept at utilizing advanced UAV technologies for disaster risk assessment and autonomous flight operations. Highly motivated to pursue further research and innovation in aerospace engineering combining with Machine learning.
