Peter G. Email & Phone Number

Vancouver, BC

• Designing and implementing a thermal model for UBC Orbit’s comprehensive satellite simulation software, capable of estimating temperature throughout the satellite’s operational procedure
• Documented a nadir-pointing satellite model for UBC Orbit’s documentation submitted to the ESA

Vancouver, BC

• Developed a Dockerized application which extends the capabilities of an underwater robot, enabling it to read from sensors and an IMU, communicate with peripherals, and interact with the user through a GUI.
• Implemented a reference frame manager, capable of displaying IMU data with arbitrary basis direction.
• Aided with the design, manufacturing, and testing of a transmission, thereby accelerating the completion of a new robot accessory.

Greater Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada

• Designed and sourced an isolated battery monitoring system that handles high voltages and currents
• Developed the design and fastening plans for robot structural components, shell, and sensors
• Performed static simulations on load-bearing components
• Created engineering drawings for robot frame components and subassemblies, featuring GD&T

• Designed the body for a regeneratively-cooled pintle injector, informed by desired rocket performance, manufacturability, and material properties
• Modelled the injector in SolidWorks
• Assisted with manufacturing the injector using the mill and lathe

• Tasked with characterizing the relationship between pressure change in the nitrogen tank and torque on rocket
• Designed test stand structure and plumbing and modelled in SolidWorks
• Manufactured test stand using waterjet and plumbing tools, resolved nitrogen leaks, and performed roll tests.

• Led the development of a weather balloon project, tasked with measuring wind speed at high altitudes
• Prototyped, built, and tested a circuit containing sensors, Arduino, GPS, APRS radio transmitter, and data logger
• Modified open-source firmware in C
• Developed Python script to calculate wind velocity patterns from data

Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada

• Developed critical libraries for node and sensor firmware, resulting in it being nearly ready for field testing by the end of the term.
• Troubleshooted PCBs and microcontrollers in conjunction with firmware
• Implemented device networking and peripheral management logic

• Assisted carpenter for two summers (2018 and 2019)
• Built and sheathed walls, prepared materials, and cleaned up/organized construction sites
• Demonstrated ability to keep work area clean and adhere to workplace safety
