As part of Columbia Space Initiative's Space Manufacturing mission, we are exploring and developing new methods to enable the next generation of self-reliant off earth missions. Our goal is to reduce the frequency—and eventually—the need for resupply missions, to make life off the planet truly independent. We are particularly interested in using additive manufacturing and on planet resources to manufacture. Specific projects and accomplishments include:- Presented 3D printer at 3D… Show more As part of Columbia Space Initiative's Space Manufacturing mission, we are exploring and developing new methods to enable the next generation of self-reliant off earth missions. Our goal is to reduce the frequency—and eventually—the need for resupply missions, to make life off the planet truly independent. We are particularly interested in using additive manufacturing and on planet resources to manufacture. Specific projects and accomplishments include:- Presented 3D printer at 3D Printopia (ERRF) 2024 to the 3D printing community. - Designed and manufactured components using SolidWorks, Fusion 360, waterjet, Tormach 770M, and additive manufacturing technologies.- Projects include a spool holder, metallic L-brackets, electronic soldering, and limit switches.More Information: https://columbiaspace.org/missions/space-manufacturing/ Show less

As a mechanical engineering intern, I had the privilege of learning about energy transformation and production by analyzing and understanding gas and steam turbines alongside a global leader in energy technology. Through events such as the Siemens Energy conference and site visits around the country (Charlotte, Winston-Salem, Casselberry, and Innovation Center repair facilities), I observed the impressive machines (gas turbines, steam turbines, generators, and their components) first-hand as… Show more As a mechanical engineering intern, I had the privilege of learning about energy transformation and production by analyzing and understanding gas and steam turbines alongside a global leader in energy technology. Through events such as the Siemens Energy conference and site visits around the country (Charlotte, Winston-Salem, Casselberry, and Innovation Center repair facilities), I observed the impressive machines (gas turbines, steam turbines, generators, and their components) first-hand as well as the repair and evaluation processes that go into their service to ensure customer satisfaction.Specifically, as part of the Gas Turbine Service Engineering team, I provided support in a multitude of projects ranging from programming tasks to risk analysis and design optimization. Some of the projects I worked on were: • Developing python code to simulate rotor creation and manufacturing deviations through random normal distributions. Analyzed statistical data to prove most efficient rotor balancing methodology.• Validating through operational service history (PCMs) that relevant locations have not experienced specific issue.• Conducting industrial literature research to develop corrosion rejection limit for gas turbine compressor discs.Working alongside some of the world's most experienced engineers provided me with a perspective on tackling problems to develop safe and efficient solutions. Their mentorship, guidance, and support have been instrumental in my growth as a mechanical engineer. This was such an exciting and productive summer working with Siemens Energy. Show less
