Houston Formation Evaluation (HFE) Center, Nuclear Product Line - Detectors- Conducted feasibility study of automated welding which improved first pass yield rate of neutron detectors (50% to 95%)- Inspected detector tubes visually and under vacuum for defects, majority being from inconsistent weld quality due to nonoptimal welding parameters and human.

- Competed in final round of SpaceX Hyperloop Competitions I & III (20 finalist teams selected from 100+ applications)- Designed electromagnetic field sims to optimize size, thickness, and material of magnetic braking arrays to achieve required drag forces to safely brake from ~2x higher speed, while minimizing extraneous forces directed into the.

- Chassis production subteam- Assembled carbon fiber layup tooling from aluminum, then proceeded to lay up the carbon fiber to create the pod's outer shell- Assisted in the assembly of eddy current brakes and brake arms - Trained in TIG welding
