(Autonomous Unmanned Aerial Vehicle) AUAV Bootcamp: The purpose of this class is to allow students time and resources to build their own AUAV. Students are required to build a UAV, learn how to control it manually, set up a basic autopilot system and prove autonomous control by flying a waypoint course. Emphasis is placed on the students to work together with their peers and use online resources to learn how to create and use an AUAV. TA responsibilities include:- Designing course objectives and grading methods. - Creating a parts list for an affordable, fully functional AUAV.- Assessing students on their ability to meet the course objectives.- Maintaining accurate and highly organized records of student grades. - Directing students who are struggling towards helpful resources and offering advice when necessary.- Required to have strong knowledge and experience with remote control aircraft, autonomous flight controllers and ground station software.

Aerospace Vehicle Performance: This class is an introductory course for newly admitted aerospace engineering students. Students are introduced to basic aeronautical and astronautical concepts such as aircraft performance and orbital mechanics. TA responsibilities include:- Grading students homework and projects.- Having a strong understanding of concepts covered in class in order to be a secondary resource to students. - Working with another TA and professor to develop a new project for students to practice aircraft performance involving UAS.- Maintaining a high level of organization in order to maintain 100+ student grades.

The 2020 NASA Aeronautics Academy at Langley was tasked with designing a concept for an autonomous, multimodal surface explorer capable of non-GPS navigation.- Aeronautics Sub-team Lead- Due to COVID-19, research was conducted remotely with team members, placing an emphasis on effective communication and time management.- Collaborated with ViGYAN to research the effect of rotor separation on the efficiency of a coaxial rotor set-up for 24- and 26-inch propellers; Expected to publish findings as a NASA Technical Report.- Implemented a flight controller within vehicle simulation to accurately mimic flight dynamics and communication protocols for a future prototype.

Cherry Point, Nc

- Conducted Aircraft Fleet Support for the United States Navy and Marines on V-22 tiltrotor aircraft. - Received a Special Achievement Award for producing work of much higher difficulty and quality than what an intern typically completes.- Performed an analysis on the structural capability of door lugs with extensive corrosion damage. Required to derive static loads, determine ultimate loads and maximum material loss before failure. - Wrote repairs for structural damage to various structural components. Required to use drawings, technical publications, damage limit and tolerance reports and previous analysis reports to determine loading data and possible repairs for specified damages.- Evaluated the criticality of 642 fuselage parts on the V-22 to determine if they should be downgraded to a lower criticality classification. Evaluations resulted in lower costs for aircraft maintenance without sacrificing crew safety.- Gained valuable experience working directly with sheet metal artisans on aircraft repairs and logistics specialists on supply concerns and OEM communication.

Cherry Point, Nc

- Conducted Aircraft Fleet Support for the United States Navy and Marines on H-1 and H-53 helicopters- Investigated the cause of critical cracking found along two AH-1Z skid tubes using macroscopic and microscopic fractography and metallographic analysis. - Wrote repairs for structural damage to helicopters. Required to use drawings, technical publications, damage limit and tolerance reports and previous analysis reports to determine loading data and possible repairs for specified damages.- Compiled analysis reports completed by Bell. Required the ability to interpret and discuss methods of analysis as well as verifying dimensions and calculations. - Wrote a change to the technical publications allowing for a new repair to be completed on the fleet level. Changes included updating material warnings and safety data sheets, inspection limits, damage limits, repair instructions and figures illustrating repair specifications. - Worked directly with sheet metal artisans and learned from first-hand experience how they go through the repair process and what misunderstandings often occur between engineers, artisans and squadrons.
