• Developed a dual-view imaging technique to study laser-induced plasma expansion from multiple angles to determine plasma expansion size while varying pressure and laser energy.• Utilized high speed camera imaging with PI-MAX 4 ICCD camera to collect time-resolved images of plasma expansion and contraction. • Constructed an optical setup involving multiple mirrors with a prism placed in front of the camera to capture front and side view images of plasma expansion on one camera image. • Created MATLAB code to evaluate plasma area over time for front and side view plasma images.• Presented results of dual-view experiment at the 2022 American Physical Society Division of Plasma Physics Conference. o Title: “Dual-View Imaging of Laser-Induced Plasma Expansion at Varying Pressures” o Date: 10/18/22 o Presentation Type: Poster Presentation

Development of a Third Stage Hybrid Electrolytic Rocket Engine:• Assisted in the design of an injector for electrolytic hybrid combustion rocket engine• Built an electrolytic test stand in order to perform electrolysis experimentsDevelopment of a Hybrid Rocket Propulsion Unit for a CubeSat:• Assembled test stand for propulsion unit to carry out test operations on CubeSat• Ran nitrous oxide cold flow and hot fire tests using LabVIEW program and InstruNet for data gathering and analysis in order to evaluate performance of propulsion system• Cleaned components of propulsion unit. Troubleshooted and calibrated electrical equipment, valves, and sensors to ensure functionality of test apparatus

• Built a pressure – fed test stand with monopropellant peroxide rocket engines as a part of the Penn State Lunar Lion propulsion team to prove the concept of a lunar lander• Certified for Laboratory Safety
