Kennedy Space Center, FL

Worked with several engineering professionals to further cryogenic research and applications. Measured the thermal conductivities of several test materials to determine aptitude for space travel via cryogenic boiloff. Collaborated with NIOSH personnel to investigate emergency breathing device improvements by using cryogens. In a team of three, designed and.

Gainesville, FL

Worked with a fluid dynamics program in Python to model how existing climate simulation methods could be improved. Independently benchmarked reworks of the program versus elementary transport phenomena problems to assess program accuracy. Implemented additional active computational nodes to further increase the accuracy of the program.
