Lead for the BX-3 payload to be launched aboard the New Shepard sub-orbital rocket in 2022 through the Blue Origin NanoLab program. The 2U-sized 500 gram payload studies the enhanced material properties of resin-fiber composites when manufactured in microgravity. The data collection of these micro-tensile specimens will contribute to future deep space manufacturing.

Assisted the automation efforts for two large telescopes in Ann Arbor, Michigan. I worked with a small team to begin a retrofit for the Angell Hall Observatory that will have full capability of remote telescope observations from any location without requiring anyone to be on site.I also worked with a team of faculty to retrofit new camera technology onto the historic telescope at the Detroit Observatory while being as evasive to the original telescope design and operations as possible.

Implemented an exhaust gas analyzing system to determine engine efficiency of a prototype Rotating Detonating Engine. My work will enable comparison of engine performance between different fuel & oxidizer combustions. During this project I used the capabilities of data acquisition software and designed a pressurized system that prioritizes safety and repeatability.

Co-led a team tasked with creating new methods of High Voltage Isolation in future electric vehicles. Our proposal saved cost and package-sizing for OEM's, and we eventually filed for an invention disclosure for our specific modification to high voltage circuit boards.

Assisted engineers from multiple disciplines with the development of future Slip Control/Antilock Break Systems by analyzing live test data and tracking production trends. Another major project was illustrating hydraulic flow schematics for various user-braking events for better system understanding for OEM's. All progress and findings were presented to the entire engineering team.

From age 13 to 19 I assisted members on the golf course with basic duties such as raking bunkers, carrying golf bags, and finding yardages to the pins.

Led a team of students that proposed an innovative solution to C-Suite Executives that drastically reduces bulk and cost in automotive vehicle wiring systems. At the end of the summer we filed for four invention disclosures (possibly future patents) after mechanically and electrically validating a new manufacturing processes for terminating copper wires. Along with the design and construction of a working prototype, we also experimented with alternate conductive materials not yet developed in the automotive industry.
