2018-2020: Mission Analysis and Operations Department in the Systems Engineering Division-Provided astrodynamics analyses for various satellite missions using SOAP, STK, and custom code (C++, Python, MATLAB)-Developed and applied a parallel-computing Python tool suite for visualization, scheduling, and loading analysis of a satellite ground network-Created.

My thesis research focused on adapting hybrid rocket technology previously developed at USU for use as a CubeSat propulsion and deorbit system. Activities included:-Predicting required deltaV and propellant mass to complete desirable missions and to deorbit the satellite in a reasonable amount of time-Scaling the hybrid system to meet CubeSat size, weight.

Technical Services Sector

From May 2016 to August 2016:-Wrote and modified a program in MATLAB with an interactive graphical user interface (GUI)-Researched intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM) history and prepared a report containing the informationFrom May 2015 to May 2016:-Worked with propulsion-ordnance team-Analyzed data, wrote reports, and presented findings on various.

-Researched decomposition of Hydrogen Peroxide (H2O2)-Performed tests to determine the best activation method for H2O2 catalyst-Designed and built an activated silver catalyst bed for decomposing H2O2. The oxygen from the decomposed H2O2 was used as the oxidizer for a hybrid rocket. The tests were semi-successful, and further research is being completed by.

• As a research assistant, I've had the opportunity to work with brilliant graduate students and to learn skills that I never would have gained in class. Some of the research activities I've been involved with include:
• Observed and participated in hybrid rocket motor testing and analysis
• Used video editing software to fine-tune test-fire videos
• Conducted research into the small satellite applications of the monopropellant, HAN combined with a micro-hybrid motor
• Designed and built a distiller to increase HAN concentration in solution (see poster below)
• Proficient with Solid Edge, Fortran, Matlab, and Labview

I worked under a graduate student researching the effects of salinity on the development of rough skin newts. I was responsible for preparing the salinity treatments, distributing the treatment to specified newt eggs, and watching for them to die or hatch. If the egg failed to hatch, I marked the date on a spreadsheet and dispose of the egg. If the newt.

I planned, organized, and led 11 STEM-themed summer camps for kids in 1st-8th grade. The camp themes ranged from Harry Potter to Scratch programming. With the 14 high-school aged counselors that I managed, we taught kids how to program Lego Mindstorms robots, create video games using the MIT-invented Scratch programming language, and executed various.
