ELISE RUDAN

Highly motivated Aeronautical Engineering student at the University of Sydney with a proven record of initiative, leadership, and academic success. Experienced in technical software such as MATLAB, Simulink, and SolidWorks, with strong foundations in control systems and dynamics. Recognised for outstanding performance in customer-facing roles, including ranking 2nd in national sales at Hype DC. Seeking an engineering internship to apply problem-solving skills and technical knowledge to real-world challenges in a collaborative, fast-paced environment.

• RSA
• Working with Children Check

• Aircraft Design and Construction
  Worked as part of a student engineering team to construct a light sport Jabiru Aircraft. Contributed to airframe structural planning and helped construct a T-tail to understand control characteristics. Gained hands-on experience in manufacturing techniques, component fitting, and adherence to light aircraft regulations during the build process.
• Control System Design and Simulation
  Designed and analysed dynamic control systems using PI, PID, and state-space techniques within MATLAB and Simulink. Developed closed-loop models for mechanical systems, tuned controllers for optimal performance, and evaluated system responses using step, impulse, and frequency-domain analysis. Gained proficiency in modelling real-world dynamics and applying classical and modern control strategies for system stability and precision.
