Pitch for Flight Mechanics Engineer Role – Lockheed Martin

Growing up on my family’s farm, I was always fascinated by the mechanics of motion—whether it was the aerodynamics of birds in flight or the efficiency of machines. This curiosity led me to pursue a Bachelor’s in Aerospace and Aeronautical Engineering at Stanford, specializing in propulsion, alongside a minor in Mathematics and Scientific Computation, where I delved into algebraic topology. To deepen my expertise, I earned my Master’s and Ph.D. in Aero/Astro Engineering from MIT, focusing on advanced flight mechanics and aerodynamic optimization.

My passion for physics, mechanics, and aviation aligns perfectly with the role of Flight Mechanics Engineer at Lockheed Martin. I have conducted independent research in aircraft stability, interned at leading aerospace firms, and worked on ventures pushing the boundaries of aerodynamics. My interdisciplinary background, including a minor in Environmental Science—rooted in my upbringing in a farming family—has given me a unique perspective on sustainable aviation solutions.

Beyond academics, I thrive in collaborative environments, having built a strong global network through fellowships like Yale Young Global Scholars and PROMYS. A firm believer in discipline and performance, I maintain a dedicated fitness routine, balancing physical and mental endurance—both essential traits for high-stakes engineering challenges.

At Lockheed Martin, I aim to contribute my expertise in flight mechanics, combining technical innovation with real-world problem-solving to drive the future of aviation. Let’s redefine what’s possible in aerospace together.

Aleena Imran - BLOG #3.2 - Grade 9

  I honestly cannot believe we are already halfway through the third term, it feels like we started it yesterday. This will be one of the last blogs we’ll be writing for the school year, which seems so crazy. As much as I’m not fond of writing blogs, it’s still a reminder that we shared our moments together in AEP.   March 5, 2025 -  An Off-Board Warmup? This warmup was unlike our other ones. We usually have our warmups on the board, such as Wordle, Hurdle or waffle. But this time, all we had on the board was a map. Everyone had to state one sentence about the two maps shown on the screen, but there was a plot twist, you had to remember what the previous person stated and add on to it. As more people stated their sentences, it only got difficult, it meant you had to remember more sentences, but in the correct order. I wasn’t able to remember the sentences in order, but I still enjoyed watching other students struggling to remember the sentences.  Later on, we g...

Abracadabra — Leo Blog 3.2

 This term, we've begun with a list of terms related to environment, ranging from the devastating crises happening around the globe to the lovely descriptions of catastrophes caused by man. While it's a very fun and a not-so content-heavy topic, it reminds us that we can't say ' abracadabra ' to felled trees and watch as they rise from the ashes of our ancestors. Well, it's a shame, really. Would've loved to see some of the forests and wildlife that existed before the world began pumping steam and breathing coal. The first thing we did when we got to the third term was pairing words to form collocations. There were a variety of them, 42 collocations to be exact, and we had to figure them out. Most were easy, words we knew were things like 'climate change' or 'heat wave', but some were new. 'Paddy farming', 'septic tanks' and other words were quite interesting. Unfortunately, I wasn't there for the AEP period the week after...

End and the start of term!

Helloooo everyone! Welcome with another blast! See, your favorite blogger is not late this time!!! And that is because it's just the start of another term, and the workload from school is quite light. Can you believe it's the last term already?? I am still in disbelief—only 2/3 of grade 11 is left, and then our final year of high school... I don't even want to think about it! We have learned a lot of things in AEP last term, including discovering new games and learning a lot more of Miss Disa's fun anecdotes. AEP this year has taught me a lot of technical terms as we have been getting lessons on very niche and specific topics. You know how a word appears a lot when you newly learn it? Now, due to my expansion of vocabulary, I started seeing the words I am learning everywhere, and that brings a bit of peace in me, as I think, well, I am learning something. We had worksheets on Healthcare, Crime and Punishment, Business, and Politics. My favorite among them was the health...
