Apollo Fusion, now acquired by Astra Space, makes Hall-effect thrusters (ion engines) for satellites. At Apollo, I design and build rad-hard electronics and systems that go to space. An ACE thruster is currently running in orbit on the Spaceflight Sherpa-LTE1 satellite, with many more in the pipeline for other customers.

Austin, Texas, US

I worked on the Drive Inverter Team, made of both mechanical engineers and electrical engineers dedicated to designing, implementing and testing drive inverters. I designed a Vce and Isolation monitor for reliability testing of the Model 3 inverter using analog circuit design and embedded programming. I Created a PCB board and program that reported data.

Berkeley, CA, US

Summer internship in LBNL's Environmental Energy Technologies Division in the Electronics, Lighting and Networks Group I developed the software and hardware for embedded 240V appliance controllers to provide advanced smart grid services and allow the user to interact with the appliance and view the appliance's power consumption using an online interface.

Stanford, CA, US

One of the course instructors for the student initiated course Physics 91SI: Practical Computing for Scientists. Developed and taught curriculum pertaining to skills useful for scientific computing particularly in Python on a Linux environment.

Condensed Matter / Super Conductor ResearchI synthesized Gd doped TbTe3 crystals and tested resistivity and susceptibility of these crystals in order to look for the quantum critical point of their charge density wave transition. This project required both hands on experimental lab work and data analysis.

Palo Alto, CA, US

I studied the deformation of breast cancer cells and their physical characteristics using cell cultures.

Palo Alto, CA, US

I developed a slow control software to set and monitor the voltage, current and etc. of the PET Breast camera. I created a graphic user interface to display and control this software.

Bar Harbor, ME, US

I studied the effects of shortening telomeres on aging and cancer using mice and cell cultures.

Bar Harbor, ME, US

I studied the effects of blocking MK2 and ROCK2 proteins with short hairpin RNA in Leukemia tumor cells using cell culture.
