Designing mechanical and thermal models of a Pulsed Inductive Thruster.

-Lead a team of 5 through the design process of fins on a large liquid bi-propellant rocket capable of reaching 100km of altitude-Wrote team procedure for completing analysis of aeroelastic flutter on composite sandwich fins in ANSYS Modal

-Wrote procedural document for the transport and launch of a liquid bi-propellant rocket-Organized and successfully carried out the transportation of propulsion hardware to a rocket engine test site

-Reassembled custom vacuum chamber to UHV standards with a pumping speed of 350L/s-Ran chamber with an operating pressure as low as 3e-8 torr without needing bakeout procedures-Experienced with operating scroll pumps, turbomolecular pumps, cold cathode gauges, and a residual gas analyzer under high-vacuum conditions-Developed and implemented cleaning and electropolishing process for damaged vacuum parts, cutting refurbishment costs by 70%
