Working under the Autonomous Integrated Systems Research Branch on PASS (Precision Assembled Space Structure). The goal of our work is to create a robotic system to autonomously assemble structures in orbit.

Engineer supporting research and development on space engineering projects, including CATIE Solids, CLINGERS, and LEAPFROG.

Collecting and identifying particulates left over after 3D printing Inconel rocket engines. Project in collaboration with the Aerospace Corporation.

Developing new data acquisition system for Water Flow Test Stand (WFTS), used to characterize experimental injectors for rocket engines.

Championed by the d.school at Stanford, University Innovation Fellows fosters innovation and entrepreneurship on college campuses. As a fellow, I strive to provide my classmates with opportunities to embrace their creative potential and improve the world around them. In the process, I find myself consistently as inspired by them as they are by me.Following an 8 week online training and meetup on Stanford's campus, I worked with a team of multidisciplinary students from my campus to create the George Fox University Maker's Club, of which I served as president. We held periodic events open to the entire campus community exposing students to design skills such as ideation, prototyping, and testing.To learn more about University Innovation Fellows and my involvement in it, see the links below:

I served as the student in charge of managing the George Fox University Maker Hub's vast inventory of tools and equipment. I also led a group of student and community volunteers in charge of maintaining the equipment and instructing individuals on their proper use.

I designed a precision pneumatic pressure regulator for A-dec's monitor mount system. The valve regulates pressure in an air cylinder, which holds a computer monitor in place at a height suitable for the doctor and patient. When the doctor raises or lowers the monitor, the regulator quickly and smoothly compensates for the change in pressure to hold the monitor at the new location. My regulator replaces a part that was previously outsourced, solving quality issues and improving performance.As the lead design engineer on the project, I was able to see the project through from conception to production. I learned how to design and build prototypes, as well as design for manufacturability.

While my primary role is the operation of additive manufacturing equipment and software, my experience with these machines has given me a unique insight which I can use to help assist my fellow students in improving their designs for better manufacturability. I have gained valuable experience prototyping and iterating, as well as working with students to solve problems facing their projects.

Summer research project studying magnetic shocks modeled by the Derivative Nonlinear Schrodinger Equation (DNLS). In particular, I characterized intermediate shocks based on their structure and collided them with solitons. The project involved extensive use of MATLAB to numerically solve the DNLS. As the project was largely self-directed, I was able to experience the undergraduate research process firsthand.In December 2019, the results of this research were presented at the 100th AGU Fall Meeting in San Francisco, California.
