I designed assemblies in Creo for different components of a tower for the Rogue program. I also analyzed defects present in circuit card assemblies (CCAs) for F-35, and I sent instructions to technicians regarding how to resolve these defects. I helped create a more stable vacuum cart design for holding and testing a vacuum for the Sirius program, and I created WOFT performance and acceptance test procedures for testing the Manticore program's mid tower clamshell bonds.

Chantilly, Virginia, Us

I researched subsystem requirements for 6 satellite buses to determine the feasibility of a common satellite bus. I also drafted recommendations for a standard satellite interface that the NRO can use to host future satellite payloads.

I worked with a team of students to create a mission control center that displays health data and two-line element sets (TLEs) collected from Georgia Tech's CubeSats in the form of visual images depicting the CubeSats’ current health and locations within their flight paths around Earth. I used STK to track CubeSat paths in real time, and I created a ConOps illustrating the procedures for a CubeSat pass over one of Georgia Tech’s ground stations.I also created an Interface Control Document (ICD) in coordination with the GT-1 CubeSat team that details how the GT-1 CubeSat, the ground stations, and the mission control center will communicate with one another after GT-1 launches in December 2021.

Greenbelt, Md, Us

I used MagicDraw to trace and model requirements for the SMART project, a component of the Goddard Mission Service Evolution Center's (GMSEC's) communication architecture that serves as a framework for communication among different software components of a ground/mission support system. Using the requirements models I created, I generated a requirements report listing the requirements the SMART project should follow.I also worked with the National Reconnaissance Office to determine how the SMART requirements models I created and the overall GMSEC communication and mission support architecture could aid the National Reconnaissance Office in the development of their own satellite ground systems.

Washington, Dc, Us

I researched instruments used in over 30 NASA missions and created a catalog with technical information about the instruments used in each mission. I also referred to cost data from prior missions to predict the costs of the in situ and remote sensing instruments that will be used during NASA's Geospace Dynamics Constellation (GDC) mission.

Atlanta, Georgia , Us

I assisted with the development and testing of Probe and Motion LabVIEW VIs used to collect data from an ion thruster in a vacuum test facility using the ExB, RPA, Faraday, and Langmuir probes. I also helped ensure that the proper wire connections were made between the probes and the measuring instruments, assisted with the maintenance and testing of the 2 vacuum test facility chambers and 2 bell jar chambers in the lab, and designed a base plate in SolidWorks for one of the ion thrusters.

Atlanta, Georgia , Us

I used Arduino, MATLAB Camera Calibrator, and SPI to help program and calibrate an Arduino camera for a RANGE CubeSat satellite in development at the Georgia Institute of Technology. I then helped test the camera in a thermal-vacuum chamber and used a grey adhesive to prepare the camera for testing.
