Greater Los Angeles Area

Interned with Aerojet Rocketdyne in Canoga Park, California in Advanced Power Systems group, supporting work on Sierra Nevada Corporation's Dream Chaser reusable lifting body spaceplane and redevelopment of the Space Shuttle Main Engine (RS-25) for NASA's Space Launch System. -Made use of finite element software including Femap and NASTRAN to perform computational structural analyses of spaceflight electronics components for Dream Chaser.-Based on structural analysis performed in Femap and NASTRAN, made recommendations about design of spaceflight printed circuit boards crucial to operation of spacecraft and collaborated with engineering team to improve design for space environment survivability.-Performed component inspection and selection for hot fire tests of the RS-25 engine for RS-25 redevelopment program for NASA's SLS.

Middleburg Heights, Ohio

Interned with ZIN Technologies, supporting projects for customers including NASA, the European Space Agency, and Aerojet Rocketdyne in a variety of applications, including deep-space electronics, International Space Station (ISS) science and crew health payloads, and space propulsion technology.- Supported ZIN work on NASA's Evolutionary Xenon Thruster-Commercial project. Designed fixture for safe assembly of the Power Processing Unit (PPU) and studied structural properties of PPU to make design changes and improve space environment survivability.- Designed components and provided project support for ISS payloads, including the Advanced Colloids Experiments (ACE) and the Human Health Countermeasures (HHC) initiative. Also helped to develop ZIN testing protocols based on NASA standards.- Supported environmental testing development and structural design for components for ESA Euclid dark matter space telescope Near Infrared Spectrometer and Photometer (NISP). Performed temperature cycle testing of prototype spaceflight components and designed test fixtures for evaluation of electronics in the spaceflight vibrational environment. - Utilized additive manufacturing technology with PTC Creo CAD design software for component prototyping and testing.
