-Simulated the day-of-launch process with a custom Python script mimicking simulation outputs-Created another tool that displays and compares vehicle air loads across different missions-Hosted department-wide briefs to discuss tool functionalities and gather feedback-Gained knowledge in day-of-launch processes, coupled loads analysis, finite element modeling, and vehicle structural▪ Developed a web tool using Python and Flask to display day-of-launch loads information to aid the go/no-go decision process

Chandler, Arizona, United States

-Supported the 6DOF Simulation on a team consisting of nine members-Participated in Jira-enabled weekly sprints with experience as the scrum master-Upgraded the real time and non-real time simulations for NG rocket trajectory and launch simulations-Improved unit test drivers written in C++ to ensure desired code functionality-Conducted independent case studies using Python to verify script and simulation outputs-Enhanced knowledge in C++, real time closed loop development, GNC standards, and the peer review process

Cambridge, Massachusetts, United States

-Created a Physics Informed Neural Network using Monte-Carlo simulation data to predict space debris population growthand decay-Optimized the model through hyperparameter adjustment and data preprocessing-Accelerated model training through multiprocessing and use of the MIT Supercloud High Performance Computing center-Aided in creation of a conference abstract submitted to the International Astronautical Congress 2024

. Designed a GUI that displayed data from actuators and sensors in the SpinAp network using ROS Python and PyQT. Programmed a script that communicated with the GUI and nodes to set modes and send commands for hardware control. Implemented a node that kept track of sensor information and communicated statuses of actuators. Utilized GitHub to maintain precise documentation on the scripts that I created and/or optimized. This culminated in creating a closed loop testing functionality to control subsystem states within the GUI

. Developed communication structure between processors of NASA's Astrobee robot using ROS Java and Android Studio. Participated in data collection and logistics during ground station testing at NASA – Ames and the ISS. Designed a script that sent LED telemetry from the robots using ROS Python. Debugged and enhanced a python script to plot data received from testing
