My name is Colin Schaefer. I am a masters Mechanical Engineering student at Michigan Technological University. After successfully defending my thesis and completing my masters degree in late April, I will begin my professional engineering career within either the government or private sector. During my undergraduate career, I pursued my passion in space exploration by joining the Multiplanetary Innovation Enterprise (MINE) and obtaining a research position with the Planetary Surface Technology Development Lab (PSTDL). Through these avenues, I was able to work on engineering projects relating to NASA's goals of putting the next people on the Moon. Specifically, I worked on two separate projects with excavation lunar regolith on the Moon through MINE, and with PSTDL, I worked on a research project developing a dynamic cone penetrometer to measure geotechnical properties of the Moon's surface. I continue working with PSTDL through my graduate career on the same project with the addition of a few more responsibilities. In addition to my PSTDL work, I began the research for my masters thesis with my advisor. The research for my thesis aims to evaluating the performance of perception sensors on an autonomous vehicle. The research is supported by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) under the Department of Commerce. To enhance my research skills, I was able to secure a position within NIST's Professional Research Experience Program (PREP) for the first half of 2024. Through my PREP position, I am working on an autonomous vehicle's perception system within the Automated Vehicle project.Please use either my school email "colinsch@mtu.edu" or my personal email "cs808044@gmail.com" to directly contact me.
