Who Am I?

My name is Chuka Chinye. I’m a Mechanical Engineering student focused on Aerospace and Propulsion. I’m passionate about creating solutions that solve real-world engineering problems and push advancements in space exploration and aviation. I’ve gained hands-on experience with CAD, simulation tools, and rapid prototyping, which has taught me how to turn ideas into working designs. I’m looking to apply these skills in ways where I can contribute and innovate aerospace technology.

Why an Online Portfolio?

I created this online portfolio to document my engineering journey and showcase the projects I’ve designed, built, and tested. It serves as both a personal archive and a professional platform to share my work with potential employers, collaborators, and fellow students. By organizing my designs, CAD models, electronics, and prototypes in one place, I can track my progress, reflect on my learning process, and demonstrate the hands-on skills I’ve developed across mechanical, electrical, and embedded systems engineering.

This portfolio also represents my commitment to continuous improvement. Every project, from early concepts to fully functional prototypes, reflects my goal of becoming a well-rounded engineer capable of designing and executing complex systems.

Featured Projects

Wind Tunnel

A custom-built, modular wind tunnel designed for aerodynamic testing and analysis. The system generates controlled airflow through a conditioned test section, enabling real-time measurement of lift, drag, and flow characteristics. Integrated sensors and embedded processing allow for accurate data collection and derived calculations such as airspeed, density, and Reynolds number.

Main Goals

Design and build a controlled wind tunnel system for evaluating aerodynamic performance.
Generate uniform, low-turbulence airflow using contraction shaping and flow straightening techniques.
Enable real-time measurement of lift, drag, and airspeed.
Validate CFD results through experimental testing and comparison.
Provide a modular platform for iterative testing, refinement, and future aerodynamic studies.

Injector Flow Test Bench

A custom-built, Arduino-controlled injector testing rig designed to simulate real-world engine conditions. The system measures injector performance across variable pulse widths, frequencies, and duty cycles, providing accurate flow data for calibration and analysis.

Main Goals

Design and build a controlled test bench to evaluate automotive fuel injector performance.
Simulate real engine firing conditions.
Enable testing across adjustable frequencies, duty cycles, and pulse widths.
Measure and compare flow consistency and injector response at different operating modes.

My TikTok

My TikTok features more in-depth, video-style content and behind-the-scenes updates on my engineering projects. I use it to share design progress, testing clips, and short explanations of how each system works which offers a more hands-on look at the development process beyond what’s shown here.
