Researching and parameterizing the behavior of plasma, electricity, and magnetism within hall thrusters to maximize performance and efficiency using MATLAB and COMSOL.Created a MATLAB script to predict and graph the path of electrons and ions through the hall thruster to optimize engine design. Using COMSOL to iterate on and analyze the layout of electromagnetic coils to improve thrust and efficiency.

Optimizing the performance of an electric race car through refining structure and using finite element analysis in preparation to compete in the international Formula SAE Electric competition. Conducting validation and verification studies on the chassis, suspension arms, and knuckles under various loads using SolidWorks FEA. Machining tight tolerance parts for suspension components using manual mills and lathes.
