I worked on the navigation system of the Realizing Rapid, Reduced-cost, high-Risk Research (R5) spacecraft at NASA Johnson Space Center.Applied advanced estimation theory to develop the attitude navigation filter. Programmed the filter and navigation logic in Python Flight System.Designed a dynamic simulation environment to test Multiplicative Extended Kalman Filter performance. Utilized Trick simulation to test GN&C systems with the flight software. Conducted hardware-in-the-loop testing of navigation system.

o Lead re-engineering of the Research and Education Regolith Advanced Surface Systems Operation Robot (RE-RASSOR) for modularity as a NASA SSERVI Collaboratoro Improve upon past versions of the rover to optimize design intento Design and fasten parts and assemblies in SolidWorks for 3D printing

• Produce Martian, asteroid, and lunar regolith simulants with industrial mining equipment for the global research community• Optimize facility operations for increased production• Design and implement custom parts to meet structural and safety requirements, using SolidWorks for rapid prototyping• Develop and test mechanically stabilized regolith for in situ resource utilization• Determine particle size distribution and magnetic susceptibility of regolith simulants for publication
