Hi, I'm Ravi

I'm a physics student at UCLA with a passion for plasma physics and fusion. I am also interested in engineering‑oriented projects — from software that turns audio into MIDI to 3D‑printed rockets. I’m driven by a curiosity of yet unknown phenomena and the thrill of building things that work.

Student Researcher, UCR

Designed a Venturi tube achieving a 30 kPa pressure drop for low‑energy water filtration.

Featured Projects

Rear wing

Rear Wing Design

Modeled a NACA 4418 aerofoil and simulated downforce in STAR‑CCM+ across speed regimes.

Rocket

Level‑Two Rocket

3 ft rocket with custom avionics reaching 1 km apogee on a J425 motor.

Song detection code

Song Detection (C++)

FFT‑based hashing engine that identifies tracks Shazam‑style.

Audio to MIDI

Audio → MIDI (C++)

Transforms audio files into MIDI by mapping dominant frequencies to musical notes.

Place bot

r/Place Bot (C#)

Multithreaded botnet that placed pixels with proxy rotation, mimicking real users.
