• Utilized the RPA software and knowledge gained in the rocket propulsion course to perform engine geometry and thrust calculations. •Used SolidWorks to design engine components including injector, chamber, nozzle, and ablative liner. • Generated SolidWorks drawings with proper tolerances for manufacturers.

• Worked through the design review process and received funding to build and fly a balloon satellite to measure radiation and the effectiveness of various shielding materials. • Successfully built, ground tested, and flew the balloon satellite and collected flight data for analysis.

• Researched Hall-Effect thrusters and used knowledge to contribute to a paper published through AIAA on cathode design. • Created SolidWorks drawings and worked extensively with manufacturers to procure the drawn components.

UAV Rotor Noise Control Researcher• Wrote a literature review on passive and active methods of rotor noise control for flights in urban environments. • Designed propellers using SolidWorks and ran acoustic simulations using FlightStream software. • Manufactured propellers using plastic 3D printing and gathered noise data using a test stand. • Analyzed data and presented the various propellor designs with their associated noise reductions.

UAV Active Noise Control: Research Lead and Financial Planner • Designed a modular active noise control system for quadcopter rotor noise control. • Learned how to write proposals, wrote a proposal for our system, and served on a review board to evaluate proposals.

Autonomous Navigation of UAVs in Indoor Environments for Search and Rescue Missions• Researched simultaneous localization and mapping algorithms (SLAM)• Performed component and software testing• Designed and manufactured component mounts• Wrote technical report to include in group presentation

West Sacramento, California, United States

• Worked from SolidWorks drawings to manufacture and assemble parts for snowplows.• Tested functionality of mounted plows which included testing hydraulic and electrical systems.
