Proved concept to extract water from lunar regolith using microwaves, developed cryogenic test plan, administered tests, and analyzed data for water collectionDesigned full prototype for lunar water extractor and developed future test plansSuccessfully updated, ran, and analyzed data from testing for Magnetically Damped Check Valve to find accurate flow coefficient and reduced check valve chatterRan Blue Origin actuator testing for propulsion system as part of Human Landing System programRan material testing for contamination, change in mass, emissivity, and absorptivity for pre and post spaceflight samples on the Materials International Space System Experiment (MISSE) project

Researched and designed a superconducting lossless power system for deep space satellites for the Starshot mission. Created circuitry to demonstrate plausibility of the power system using a superconducting ring; found and modeled possible solutions through thermoelectric generators, superconducting capacitors, or superconducting magnetic energy storage (SMES). Applied past SMES research to deep space conditions and to the mass requirement of 0.36g for the power system.

Performed operations in cryogenic vacuum chamber for icy moon sample acquisition and ice transfer. Designed and tested hardware for sampling ice from plumes on Enceladus, a moon of Saturn. Optimized Plume Ice Creation (PIC) testbed. Executed test campaign for investigating the integrity of various volatile-doped ices before and after going through the transfer system; designed and manufactured plumbing for the transfer system. Designed test hardware for NASA Artemis mission glove safety testing.

Responsible for 24 15 year old girls throughout a seven-week overnight summer camp. Organized and led full camp activities.
