At NSW PEP, we specialize in advanced data center cooling solutions, including cutting-edge liquid cooling for AI applications, alongside traditional air-cooled equipment, UPS, switchgear, and busway systems. I collaborate closely with high-tech industry partners, their design engineers, and contractors to select and validate the appropriate equipment, ensuring seamless integration and smooth startup. This comprehensive support spans the entire project lifecycle, designed to meet the fast-paced and continually evolving demands of the data center and tech industries.

As part of a four-student team, we designed and implemented a Bradbury-Nielsen Gate (BNG) for the characterization of an electrospray thruster. We employed Time-of-Flight Mass Spectrometry (TOF-MS) to measure ion plume and calculate thrust, offering a cost-effective alternative to expensive traditional thrust stands used for low-thrust applications like electrospray thrusters. Addressing the high costs and complexity of existing BNG designs, which require pricey materials and precise micro-machining, we developed an innovative design to construct the BNG including a novel method for lacing the interdigitated gate wires to ensure uniform tension and prevent plastic deformation. I personally wrote all LabView code and developed comprehensive laboratory testing procedures incorporating various experimental instruments. Our project garnered recognition for its innovation, securing 2nd place at the AIAA Regional Conference in March 2020.

As a Spacecraft Design Intern at Momentus Space, I developed orbital decay simulations and analysis tools for mission design and analysis. I conducted mathematical analysis of RCS propellant usage for various ACS thruster minimum impulse bits and managed spacecraft component tracking and system engineering software, ensuring accurate figures for vehicle mass, power consumption, and ΔV. I also interfaced with vendors, service providers, and contractors to complete operational tasks and execute facilities development.
