Lead test and operations engineer guiding efforts in proof-of-concept development for vertical drilling and horizontal tunneling projects. HyperSciences (a sister company of P2S), uses an identical hypervelocity core technology to break rock in high pressure environments and hard-rock mining & tunneling. This enables geothermal energy access anywhere and.

Spokane, Washington Area

Lead operations engineer managing on-going development projects and testing series. Pipeline2Space offers on-demand and continuous rides to low-earth-orbit using a novel hypervelocity launch system. Intended to replace the first stage of conventional rocket-powered launch vehicles, P2S introduces a paradigm shift in payload delivery for a fraction of the.

• Masters Thesis
• Experimental Investigation of Baffled Tube Ram Accelerator Operating Characteristics.
• Day to day lab operations - experiment planning, procedure, precautions, logistics, data acquisition and analysis.
• Identification of propellant heat release and Mach number limitations during ram accelerator operation.

• Re-designed an air intake for endurance racing kart to avoid engine hydro-lock during rain races.
• ANSYS CFX analysis with perforated air filter to ensure newly designed intake outperforms stock intake and to develop baseline CFD model.
• CAD model developed to be manufactured with CFRP or ALM.
• Significant total pressure recovery at carburetor inlet and reduced chance for rainwater hydrolock.

Project Manager for team of 4 tasked with designing and building a mobile CFRP infusion station. Our team also determined material properties and infusion characteristics for quasi-isotropic and orthotropic lay ups both experimentally and analytically.

Yoxford Suffolk UK

Farm operations including park and woodland preservation, livestock care, and heavy machinery maintenance and operation. Typical work period was 2-3 weeks in the winter and 4 weeks in the summers.

Missoula, Montana

Senior thesis for undergraduate degree in physics focusing on optimization of swim fin efficiency. Main task was to design, test, and modify fins. Secondary task was to design experiments which allowed us to acquire and analyze data that represented fin efficiency, and then use this data to justify further modifications to the fins. Overall efficiency was.
