Engaged with the operations director to ensure smooth day-to-day operations. I worked with the materials team to help streamline the process and get the department working optimally with the current supply-chain shortages.I assisted in turning the paper drawings and processes into a digital database for operators to use, decluttering the workspace, and making more efficient future process modifications.Responsibilities included working with New Process Introduction (NPI)… Show more Engaged with the operations director to ensure smooth day-to-day operations.

Conducted collaborative research, modeling, and design for a solicitation requiring observation and data collection for an interstellar object with 72 other student aerospace engineers. Started researching spacecraft power methods, leading to the formulation of various power sizing and degradation models for power systems including solar panels and Radioisotope Thermoelectric Generators (RTGs).Transitioned over to the propulsion team, modeling a tank sizing program to determine… Show more Conducted collaborative research, modeling, and design for a solicitation requiring observation and data collection for an interstellar object with 72 other student aerospace engineers. Started researching spacecraft power methods, leading to the formulation of various power sizing and degradation models for power systems including solar panels and Radioisotope Thermoelectric Generators (RTGs).Transitioned over to the propulsion team, modeling a tank sizing program to determine the sizing of the propulsion system. I created the team’s propulsion tank sizing model in MATLAB. Using this tank sizing model, I was able to use the team's Piping and Instrumentation Diagram (P&ID) to develop a CAD propulsion model.Throughout the year, I worked with system engineers on trade study processes, concept of operations development, and requirements management.I gathered and created presentation slides for reviews including Mission Concept Review, System Requirement Review, System Design Review, and Preliminary Design Review. These reviews were all held remotely with a variety of aerospace industry employees being the primary audience. Show less

Helped in the manufacturing process of the first car in the organization, Dawn: A solar car that can break the land speed record for a solar-powered car. Worked on priming carbon fiber molds with Duratec surface primer and sanding molds for a more refined aeroshell form factor. Assisted in CAD design for steering mount covers.Transitioned to a new project and to work on the design and analysis of an aeroshell for an electric car with a range of 1000 miles on a single charge.

Worked on CAD design and CFD analysis to improve the aerodynamics of the vehicle. Overall design improvements reduced drag by 25 percent while maintaining a sports car exterior. Manufacturing work with the chassis team included manufacturing streamlining, chassis bar fabrication, and collaboration with welders to assemble the chassis. Show less

Helped start a FIRST Tech Challenge (FTC) and FIRST Robotics Competition (FRC) team at Salem High School. Competed at the state level for FTC. I learned how the FIRST Tournaments and Procedures worked as well as gained lots of design and troubleshooting skills. Took part in the first year as an FRC team. Gained more design, prototyping, and integration skills. Successfully won the rookie of the year award at the Granite State Competition, which allowed us to compete at the World Championships… Show more Helped start a FIRST Tech Challenge (FTC) and FIRST Robotics Competition (FRC) team at Salem High School.
