Aerospace engineering student building research-led systems with real technical depth.

I am Puneeth Bheesetty, a Warsaw University of Technology aerospace engineering student working across spacecraft systems, structures, fluid dynamics, propulsion, CAD/CAM, and remote sensing.

This portfolio brings together current work in Arctic InSAR reliability, aircraft loads, rover transmission design, and a Taylor-Couette microgravity experiment, alongside earlier projects in launch systems, propulsion, and satellite design.

Who I Am

I am in the sixth semester of my BSc in Aerospace Engineering at Warsaw University of Technology. My projects sit at the overlap of analysis, manufacturing, mission design, and scientific curiosity.

I am most motivated by work that connects calculations to something physically credible, whether that means a microgravity payload, an aircraft wing load path, or a deformation-monitoring workflow that has to hold up in the Arctic. I was born in India, grew up in the United States, and am now studying in Poland, which has shaped how I work across different professional expectations, team cultures, and technical environments.

What I Work With

  • CATIA V5
  • NX Siemens
  • ANSYS Fluent
  • ANSYS Mechanical
  • ESA SNAP
  • MATLAB
  • Python
  • OpenCV
  • KiCad
  • Git
  • Agile
  • Scrum
  • Project Planning

How I Collaborate

Alongside the technical tools, I place a lot of value on project management and team coordination. I am comfortable working with Agile and Scrum-style structures, managing task flow, tracking milestones, and keeping multidisciplinary teams aligned as projects move from concept to execution.

Because I have lived and studied across India, the United States, and Poland, I also bring an awareness of cultural etiquette, regulations, and team dynamics that helps me communicate clearly and work effectively in international environments.

Current Momentum

My present project set includes Sentinel-1 InSAR research in Longyearbyen, a flying-boat conceptual design study, a Mars rover transmission shaft design, and a Taylor-Couette flow experiment proposal for ESA REXUS/BEXUS.

The REXUS concept is currently on hold while the team prepares a stronger resubmission for the June 2026 application cycle.
