Azusa, California, United States

I helped develop the system architecture for a new capture effort using model-based systems engineering tools (Cameo). I developed requirement allocations, interface definition, functional definition, and performance model integration with the MBSE tool. I was also an author on two RFIs to define the customer's approach to digital engineering and MBSE.

Azusa, California, United States

This summer, I had the pleasure of interning with Northrop Grumman in Azusa, CA. Over the summer, I developed a thermal systems optimization tool using Matlab and Thermal Desktop, and RadCAD. The tool helped facilitate initial system optimization and informed the selection of cryocoolers and radiator sizing.I also supported program management in several.

Greater Pittsburgh Area

Within my first week at Pitt, I co-founded the University of Pittsburgh’s first rocketry team which competes in the national Student Launch Initiative run by NASA. Teams build high-powered rockets designed to reach a target altitude as well as deploy a payload upon landing. Teams report to and are graded by NASA engineers.In my first year, I set out to.

Wallops Flight Facility

I worked at Wallops Flight Facility for the NASA Sounding Rocket Operations Contract (NSROC III). During my 7 months there, I gained experience by working on several design projects including testing equipment, launcher systems, and many others to support the design and testing of sounding rockets. Additionally, I led the research and development of a new.

Carnegie Mellon University, Pittsburgh PA

I collaborated on a team of three other engineering students to optimize the rover wheel’s mass and rigidity for use on the Moon. Developed and tested several iterations of the current design by creating carbon fiber layups of new wheel designs. Over the course of the summer, we produced a new optimized wheel which was only 20 grams (compared to 75+ when.
