Hi everyone, I'm Alex Herrera, a recent Mechanical Engineering graduate from Stony Brook University. I have a diverse set of experiences from independent projects to internships, including my time as a mission systems engineering intern for NASA's VIPER Lunar Rover. I am a highly motivated leader with a passion for aerospace, robotics, and project management. Some of my experiences include designing a vehicle that could traverse the caves of Mars in search for biosignatures during my time in the NASA Lucy Student Pipeline Accelerator and Competency Enabler (L'SPACE) Mission Concept Academy, and large scale projects like NASA Student Launch. Having such diverse experiences in these fields helps me gain new perspectives and become a unique candidate. I discovered a passion for mentoring while I taught robotics to high school students through the Women in Science and Engineering Honors Program at Stony Brook. Ultimately, I hope that one day I can help make a difference in my community, whether that's through engineering or just by inspiring my peers to follow their dreams.

MentorStony Brook University Aug 2023 - PresentI mentor a total of eight students between the Women in Science and Engineering (WISE) honors program and through the Stony Brook Chapter of AIAA. I work with my mentees on professional development including applying to internships, developing their resumes, professional etiquette, and more. -
Undergraduate ResearcherStony Brook University Jan 2023 - PresentI analyze projected speckle patterns using CASI software to determine the dislocation between projected patterns. I've been working to facilitate the process of measuring plate bending using projected speckle patterns. The goal is to solve for a coefficient and to finalize the equation for predicting plate bending.

Student AssistantStony Brook University Sep 2022 - PresentStony Brook, New York, United StatesI act as a robotics instructor for the school’s High School WISE (women in science and engineering) program. I work with professors and administrators of the collegiate honors program WISE to create a suitable course for these students. I teach the group of students the essentials of robotics including basic electronics, circuits, and Arduino programming.

Undergraduate ResearcherStony Brook University Jan 2023 - Jan 2024I conduct experiments to find the most effective formula for magnetic filament for 3D printing to eventually be able to 3D print magnetic actuators.I have been working to conceptualize parts that could be made in this magnetic material, particularly for aerospace applications. The goal is to improve the formula for the magnetic ink to increase the viscosity and enhance printing process.

Volunteer Intern Program (Vip) InternNasa - National Aeronautics And Space Administration Aug 2023 - May 2024While continuing my work on the reusable viral sensor, I am also a member of the VIPER team where I collaborate with the team to identify failure modes.For VIPER, I was contributing to the Mission Systems Engineering team by using fault tree analysis to determine failure modes as well as possible recovery and safety solutions. We utilized Confluence and TEAMS to organize our documentation. Part of my role was to transfer and correct data to maintain and improve the system of organization as well as elaborate in greater detail. -
Summer InternNasa - National Aeronautics And Space Administration Jun 2023 - Aug 2023Ames Research CenterI am developing a reusable viral sensor to be used by crew members in a spacecraft environment using Raman spectroscopy. The sensor will go within the water systems of spacecraft and inform the crew of any potential health hazards including viruses.

Payload Engineer - Nasa Student LaunchAiaa Student Branch At Stony Brook University Aug 2023 - May 2024We participated in the NASA Student Launch Initiative where students are expected to design, build, and fly a rocket that is designed to a different challenge every year. This year we had to create a "lunar landing module" that would deploy from the rocket at 400 feet and land safely separate from the vehicle body. Our team created a quadcopter drone that could fold into the rocket body and deploy using linear actuators that would push a door open after the main parachute deploys. Our drone flew successfully, and we qualified to fly our payload at the national competition in Huntsville, Alabama. -
PresidentAiaa Student Branch At Stony Brook University May 2022 - May 2024As President of the Stony Brook Chapter of AIAA, I have organized large and small scale events, managed projects, and worked with professionals to get students as many opportunities as possible. AIAA has become a club within the College of Engineering and Applied Sciences that is known for taking lead and starting traditions such as the College of Engineering Executive Board Social and Picnic Events. My fellow executive board members and I worked with the Stony Brook Career Center, NSBE, and a number of other organizations on campus to create the annual "Careers in Aerospace Panel" where representatives from major aerospace companies come to Stony Brook to network with students in ways they never have before. Over the course of my two years, the student body membership expanded from 4 to 205, making AIAA a prominent organization on campus. We also participated in the NASA USLI competition where we qualified for nationals for the first time in 2024.

Nasa L’Space Mission Concept AcademyNasa - National Aeronautics And Space Administration May 2022 - Sep 2022In NASA L’SPACE Mission Concept Academy Summer 2022, our project was to design a vehicle that could traverse caves on Mars to collect biosignatures. My team of about 14 people researched, designed, and analyzed a climbing vehicle that would have the ability to climb vertically as well as move horizontally across the Martian surface. We made a PDR (Preliminary Design Review) on our design that was over 150 pages long, detailing risks, safety precautions, fault analysis, requirements, and of course the design itself.
