My Ph.D. research at the University of Illinois focuses on electrospray propulsion, a type of high-efficiency rocket engine for spacecraft. I specialize in designing and building complex scientific instruments. For example, I built a small, low-cost mass spectrometer and used it to make precise measurements of electrospray thruster plumes. My experience in.

Urbana-Champaign, Illinois Area

Albuquerque, New Mexico

I worked for Applied Research Associates on engineering design and computational modeling for the defense industry. My job was primarily to set up and run finite element models. Activities included manually generating the mesh, setting up and running simulations, analyzing results, and conveying conclusions and recommendations to my supervisors and.

Ran a mechanical engineering lab class focused on experimental technique, fluid dynamics, aerospace propulsion, and technical communication.

Huntsville, Alabama Area

During the 2016 summer, I worked at the NASA Marshall Space Flight Center testing new types of carbon fiber composites. We made these composites with a novel ionic liquid epoxy that allowed them to remain tough at cryogenic temperatures and resist microcracking. My research involved designing and implementing a biaxial strain test in cryogenic conditions..

In 2015, I worked in the Vanderbilt STORM lab developing a capsule robot that uses fluidic propulsion as a means of control. The device, termed the hydrojet, seeks to cut the cost of endoscopy to $2-5 per procedure while simultaneously reducing the risk of cross contamination between patients. I designed and developed a valve system to provide fine motor.

Oak Ridge, TN

ORNL is a Department of Energy national laboratory that focuses on meeting the changing energy demands of the nation. In the summer of 2013, I worked as an intern for the Bulding Technology Research and Integration center at ORNL. My work involved studying data collected from three unoccupied research homes to make conclusions about the performance of.
