Julius Bartaševičius

It's pronounced Bartashew-whitchious.

introduction

I am Julius, a PhD candidate in Aeronautical Engineering who is open for various project opportunities.

I have graduated from the University of Glasgow, Scotland, in 2016, continued as an engineer in a sailplane manufacturer LAK in Lithuania and worked as a researcher at the Technical University of Munich since 2017. My research focus is drag measurement of fixed-wing UAVs in-flight.

During these years I have gained experience in experimental aerodynamics (wind tunnel and in-flight oil flow measurements), UAV flight testing (management, planning, data analysis and documentation) and modelling (semi-empirical methods, panel methods and CFD).

During my time as a researcher I have authored multiple publications, participated in many conferences, supervised students and gathered exchange experience (exchange in University of California and Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University).

My work principles

Inspired by Ray Dalio

Be radically open-minded and radically transparent.
Don't be afraid to:
- Say "I don't know".
- Ask for help.
- Make mistakes.
  - It is OK to make mistakes. It is unacceptable not to learn from them.
Appreciate thoughtful disagreement.
Always have the big picture in mind.
- Weigh second- and third-order consequences.
Be specific about problems and don't generalize.
- Avoid "we" and "they"- it masks personal responsibility.
