Selected to work at the Navy's Carderock division through the Montgomery County Public Schools Summer Rise program. The Summer Rise program runs for 5 weeks. In order to further the development of a drone lab, the Navy is creating a rain maker capable of dispensing non-homogenous rain drops at terminal velocity onto drones. I participated in an experiment which measured the diameter and velocity of water droplets from different heights in order to discover the optimal height to fly drones. In addition I participated in calibrating dynamometers to be used for Navy experiments.

Conducted research on the porosity of 3D printed metals using a MUTR Neutron Imager at the University of Maryland Radiation Facilities. Used the Python library OpenMC to simulate neutrons through the samples. Compared density and imperfections of the 3d printed metal samples to a control. Presented a final research poster with my findings.
