Omar Khalil
Mechanical Engineering
Graduating from New Jersey Institute of Technology in May 2026 driven to innovate, build, and engineer solutions that matter.
PROJECTS
Motorcycle - Adaptive Spoiler System
Collaborated with a six person team to design and develop a proposal for an adaptive spoiler exclusively for racing bikes that reduces drag while straight-lining and increases downforce when cornering.
Tree Health Drone
Worked with a team to develop a python program from scratch that can detect blight on leaves in real time and attached it to a working drone.
Conducted CFD analysis of the spoiler at different velocities in active and neutral position.
The slotted flap maintains and strengthens the fluid boundary layer, reducing drag and increasing downforce as intended
Isometric view of the mount that was designed for a BMW F900R but can be redesigned easily for any racing bike
Adaptive Spoiler System
Developed SolidWorks skills by aiding in modeling 3D components, keeping in mind material properties and manufacturing considerations
Built CFD skills by simulating fluid flow using accurate material properties and fluid property inputs to assess performance.
Gained exposure to manufacturing practices by designing components with tolerances, materials, and fabrication processes in mind.
Helped wire the drone and mount the Raspberry Pi used to execute the program
Aided in researching and developing a working python code from scratch that was able to detect diseased spots on leaves.
Successfully gathered and augmented datasets full of thousands of images for public and future use.
Tree Health Drone
Bridged mechanical engineering with computer science through programming, simulation, and computational tools.
Developed more experience in hands-on electro-mechanical concepts when learning to wire and program the drone.
