- Individual and team work in research, prototype development, analytical and experimental testing of hybrid rocket engines and space launch vehicle subsystems for the Dauntless flight vehicle as part of the structures subteam. - Leading design and production process of engine mounts for live fire testing including: - Sketching, CAD design iteration, and prototyping with additive manufacturing - Working with Structures and Analysis subteams on design and safety criteria - Making detailed engineering drawings with GD&T and working with local machine shops for component manufacturing - Working with Test and Structures subteams on final assembly of engine mounts. - Working on design and developmental test plan for launch vehicle hold-down mechanisms on the pad. - Worked 40 hours per week in person through September 1, now working 10 hrs per week remotely

Working as NASA Student Launch Team Safety Officer - Checklists for safe practices in manufacturing and assembly of payload and launch vehicle components - Safe practices during test launches and our final launch at competition Working as a member of the Payload Mechanical subteam - Designing and manufacturing of the payload that will be put in our launch vehicle - Focus on the payload retention system in the launch vehicle so that the payload can remain safe during flight as well as be safely guided out of the launch vehicle upon deployment.

- Researched rotorcraft aerodynamics including blade element theory, actuator disk theory, and interactions between two contra-rotating, coaxial rotors. - To better understand how these rotorcraft work, particularly in the region between the two rotors, I wanted to explore the relationship of the distance between the rotors and the resulting change of velocity and pressure in that region of interest. - Used ANSYS Fluent to do comprehensive Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) analysis on two contra-rotating, coaxial rotors in a defined medium. From this series of 3D simulations, I demonstrated how velocity streamlines, velocity contours, and pressure contours change in the region between the rotors and the surrounding medium as the distance between the rotors increases.
