Designing electronic control system for synthetic aperture imaging via a photoacoustic airborne sonar system.

Studied novel methods for depositing, patterning, and characterizing nanomaterials on semiconductor devices, writing software to enable parameter sweeps and impedance characterization.

Working towards E-band (~80 GHz) circularly polarized illumination of a compact range with an OMT-based dual linear feedhorn. Developed system to compute ACLR limited EIRP of Ku-band phased arrays, characterize path loss in a compact range, and accurately estimate axial ratio of elliptically polarized feeds from a three-point measurement.

Developed demodulation tests for the backhaul satellite and ground station modems and worked to bring up custom IF validation hardware, deploying the entire system to production.

Contributed to the development of a pressure-fed liquid bipropellant rocket engine and launch infrastructure for SSI's Olympus project, which was successfully flown and recovered in May 2023

Led a team of ~20 people to design and build a semi-autonomous robot from scratch to compete in the FIRST Robotics Competition. Previously led the electrical, software, and mechanical groups.
