As a member of the gsw team, my responsibility is to provide these stakeholders with reliable, efficient, and intuitive software that meets mission requirements and timelines.My software mainly supports company efforts in avionics environmental testing, MLV engine and structural testing, and Alpha test and launch. My skills in research, problem solving, and test instrumentation allow me to create effective software to support these efforts. Show less

Developed custom LabVIEW test software solutions for automated test and measurement systems to provide them with full-coverage self-test and test interface capabilites. My software interfaced with suites of specialized measurement equipment to validate and perform mission critical testing.

Instructed nine sections of calculus based introductory physics lab (PHY 161L), one section of introductory physics lab for physics majors (PHY171L), assisted with one section of advanced lab (PHY333W), and graded homework for one section of Quantum Mechanics II (PHY 499).

Worked in the Gibbs Nanomaterials Lab to create active, ultraviolet light controlled, magnetic micro particles and investigated their motion while under the influence of a magnetic field. Wrote and defended a thesis on this topic as a part of the applied physics graduate program in April 2020, which led to journal publication.

Led a team of students that designed, built, tested, and launched scientific high-altitude balloon payloads that included investigations into cosmic rays, UV radiation, the 2017 solar eclipse, and gamma ray emissions from thunderstorms. In my four years with the Louisiana Space Grant Consortium I was able to contribute to nearly all phases of executing a high altitude balloon project including mechanical design and assembly, electrical assembly and testing, flight planning and operations… Show more Led a team of students that designed, built, tested, and launched scientific high-altitude balloon payloads that included investigations into cosmic rays, UV radiation, the 2017 solar eclipse, and gamma ray emissions from thunderstorms.
