Researching measurement variability as a function of sensor density in atmospheric flows.

• Developed high voltage test fixture for inverter manufacturing• Designed and modelled fixture in OnShape including airflow ducting for heatsinks• Programmed microcontroller to control switching, fan control, and data acquisition (Python)• Developed automated inverter checkout tests and controls in Python using developed SCPI command library and microcontroller control programs

Awarded grant from the Vermont Space Grant Consortium for developing more fuel efficient ways to deploy small satellite constellations. Build on top of my previous research assistant position at UVM, this project involves updating my dynamic orbit simulator and developing algorithms for deployment. Developed a PD control system and used a genetic optimization algorithm to tune the control values.

Built a dynamic orbit simulator in Python for Dr. Ossareh's work with satellite swarm algorithms. Built with Ursina on top of Panda3D, created a simulator that modelled multiple satellites orbiting around a central body (Earth). Simulator allows for attitude and thrust control (manually and through command sequences) and can calculate and display orbital planes in real time.

Intern at Benchmark Space Systems integrating STK Astrogator and SOLIS with Python for the development of a HIL system. Performed orbit maintenance analysis (delta-v) for customer quotes. STK Grand Master certified (level I, II, and III). Designed robotic valve actuator in SolidWorks for propellant release. Assisted with hot fires, board design (KiCad) and population, coding an API (Python) and flow heater builds.
