Structural Design Lead for 2023-2024 Spaceport America CupModeled modular aft section in 2022-2023 Spaceport America Cup rocket using Fusion360 CAD software while focusing on DFM and DFA principles.Simulated structure using ANSYS Mechanical in order to ensure desired safety factor is maintained throughout the designed and maximum stresses are not exceeded on each part.Collaborated with chief engineers and sub team members on creating CAM toolpaths using Fusion 360 CAM software to be used on 3-axis CNCs.Utilized various manufacturing methods including 3D printing, CNC milling, and Waterjet milling to manufacture modular aft components.Placed 29th out of 159 teams in 2023 Spaceport America Cup.

Precision Space Systems LaboratoryUndergraduate Research Assistant Verified a Link Budget for the signal strength between two CubeSats orbiting Earth as part of the CubeSat Laser Infrared Crosslink Mission (CLICK). Simulated the orbit of both satellites around Earth in order to ensure atmospheric levels between CubeSats during each instance of orbit using Python. Determined atmospheric levels needed for proper signal communication between CubeSats using Python.
