Hi! My name is Vishank Battar

I am a junior studying Aerospace Engineering at Purdue University. I'm currently a co-op for Gulfstream Aerospace Corporation where I design and integrate mechanical systems into future aircraft programs. During my first rotation at Gulfstream, I developed code for a fuselage doublet lattice model and integrated it into a weight optimization tool. This has led me to develop an interest in creating designs and seeing them through to fabrication.

I am an avid leader. I use my boundless energy to empower those around me and effectively lead diverse teams in any setting. As a Resident Assistant, I've organized events that shared my passion for playing sports and built camaraderie with a floor of 46 first-year students. As Grand Prix Director, I led my hall's Grand Prix team of 7 inexperienced students to qualify for the annual race for the first time in 2 years. My leadership experience comes from a wide range of situations, but I've found that nothing satisfies me more than developing new relationships, effectively delegating tasks, and creating synergy with a group to achieve something greater than the sum of our parts.

In my free time I love to watch and play basketball, code, and learn about personal finance. I'm a huge proponent of continuous learning so I often spend my time reading, taking online classes, or trying new activities. One thing I tried recently was flying with a friend and I loved it so much that I'm currently working on getting my sport pilot license. I'm also currently taking an online bootcamp on web development, and this website is one of my first products! One thing I want to do in the future is travel more.
