In September of 2024, my brother, Nikolas Harris, and I started our venture, SPAERO Systems. SPAERO Systems is working to create sustainable technologies for use in space and on the ground. We competed in Ohio State's first annual BOSS Space Ventures and placed first in the competition.

Continuing on from my summer internship, I have been working on developing a tool for building NTP Tradespaces. The tool I am developing uses HTML, CSS, and Javascript on the front end and Python to run the backend. The main features of this tool include allowing users to create attributes (burntime, isp, engine mass, etc.) and define weights as well as.

During my summer internship, I researched designs for lander, REP (radioisotope electric propulsion), and SEP (solar electric propulsion) crafts to create a Python script that creates MELs (Master Equipment Lists) using calculated subsystem masses. I created a plot comparing wet masses between SEP and NEP (nuclear electric propulsion) vehicles which was.

In January of 2022, I was elected the first president of the Diamond Grove Scholars, a student-led research community currently based out of The Ohio State University to engage and involve K-12 and college students in STEM and space. I am honored to be working with such an incredible group of students to make an impact not just on our local communities.

I started Ian's Guides in fall of 2022 as a way for me to teach others about the topics I am learning in my degrees in Aerospace, Astrophysics, Physics, Mathematics, and Nuclear Engineering. Ian's Guides has been slowly evolving to include not only guide content but flashcards, useful equations, and web games as well. I will also be including more coding.

At the Starlab Ground Location-US (SGL-US), I supported Ohio State’s partnership with Starlab by representing the team during international partnership meetings and writing technical documents for budget renewal. Starlab is a new commercial space station that will be launched before the International Space Station’s sunset ride and so my work supported the.

My work assisted in the Gas Turbine Lab's research focus on engine-speed blade tip rubs on casing substrates. My first project was working on designing and building a trigger card circuit to track and capture images of turbine blades as they spun to visualize the effects of rubbing with the casing substrate. This was my first experience with electronics.
