Senior mechanical engineer at the Lockheed Martin Space Advanced Technology Center and Optical Payload Center of Excellence. CubeSat Disturbance Free Payload Technology VerificationMechanical lead - designed structures, mechanisms, mechanical placement for novel spacecraft vibration isolation system using electro-mechanical actuators driven by a closed-loop feedback control system. Designed launch lock integrated mechanism using external COTS launch lock in conjunction with in-house designed semi-kinematic restraint system. Presented initial mechanical system design, structural analysis, and thermal analysis to distinguished panel for internal system review milestone. Aided in winning multi-million, multi-year NASA funding through mechanical design conceptual contributions in proposal.Optical Payload Research and DevelopmentWorked on mechanical models for internal proposals of novel optical payload systems. Worked directly with optical engineers to integrate optical path into mirror positioning in top-level assembly using Zemax and CREO skeletons. NASA Geostationary Carbon Observatory (GeoCarb) InstrumentationThis instrument will observe vegetation levels over North and South America. Responsibilities included mechanical design and analysis of flight instrumentation and structures including opto-mechanical mounts and electronics. Managed top-level assembly using a mixture of limited-featured components, external vendor CAD files, and fully-designed in-house assemblies to optimize user and viewer functionality.

I designed and developed a robotic perch mechanism for small scale rotorcraft for my Master of Science in Mechanism Engineering thesis "​ A Sarrus-Based Mechanism for Rotorcraft Perching"​.This work examines a passive perching mechanism that enables a rotorcraft to grip branch-like perches and resist external wind disturbance using only the weight of the rotorcraft to maintain the grip. We provide an analysis of the mechanism's kinematics, present the static force equations that describe how the weight of the rotorcraft is converted into grip force onto a cylindrical perch, and describe how grip forces relate to the ability to reject horizontal disturbance forces. The mechanism is optimized for a single perch size and then for a range of perch sizes. We conclude by constructing a prototype mechanism and demonstrate its use with a remote-controlled helicopter.
