Pınar Altındağ

I am an aerospace engineering student aiming to develop innovative solutions in the aviation industry. I prioritize idea generation and bringing these ideas to life through interdisciplinary approaches. In this regard, in addition to the requirements of my major, I aim to acquire knowledge in various engineering disciplines and create a versatile learning network.

I thrive in team environments. I have been actively serving for 3 years on the management team of an R&D community that produced two finalist teams in the 2025 TEKNOFEST Combat UAV Competition and an international UAV competition.

Additionally, I have been working as an instructor at the T3 Foundation for 1.5 years. In this context, I have provided and continue to provide training in robotics and coding, materials science, software technologies, artificial intelligence, energy technologies, electronics programming, and the Internet of Things (IoT). This experience has strengthened my competence in sharing technical knowledge and handling interdisciplinary subjects.

I use SolidWorks and CATIA to materialize my ideas. Going beyond design, I analyze the aerodynamic performance of the wing profiles I develop using ANSYS Fluent to optimize drag coefficients. I am proficient in the MATLAB & Simulink ecosystem for modeling aircraft control algorithms. I enjoy translating theoretical knowledge into practice.

I also have workshop experience with 3D printers, laser cutting machines, prototyping processes, and composite material production. Besides my engineering studies, I am interested in analog photography.

I am always open to discussing innovations in the industry. You can connect with me on LinkedIn
