Working with Geant4 for IceCube and P-ONE. Supervised by Dr. Roger Moore.

Implementing and characterizing an NMR detector, which will be used for detecting hyperpolarized xenon gas in the future. This involves spatially measuring the inhomogeneity of a static magnetic field produced by a Helmholtz coil, performing frequency tuning and impedance matching for an RF transmission/reception coil, and ultimately amplifying a weak NMR.

Had the opportunity to prepare and present an introductory lecture on LaTeX for the Electrical Engineering Club Certificate in Hardware Design (EECERT).

Sucessfully integrated our live telemetry solution using LoRa radio transmitters into two of our rockets. Working on a modular flight computer centered about an FPGA and a camera + radio rocket tracking solution.

Designed custom power distribution boards with embedded STM32 microcontrollers. Successfully implemented reliable remote Bluetooth arming of the power distribtution boards in C, simplifying the pre-launch of our rocket.
