Led the design of a compressed CO2 propulsion system for a 1U robotic satellite with Sierra LoboDesigned a converging-diverging nozzle section to maximize output thrust given a cold gas system

Founding member of the Ohio State University HeroX GoAERO Prize competition team Designed and built an emergency rescue autonomous VTOL aircraft over a 3-year period

My job as a Fabrication Engineer was designing in entirety the various projects Staber was contracted to make, as well as creating the CNC and bending programs to build company designs and designs other companies contracted us to manufacture. I used the SolidWorks CAD program for all of our designs, and specialized in building assemblies using sheet metal. I have created parts and models using 1/16 and 1/8 inch aluminum and 18 to 2 gauge steel. I mainly worked with Alpine Dryers, who contracted Staber to design and build boot dryers. I designed boot dryers for both industrial and commercial use. One of the projects I designed was a boot and glove dryer to fit in a locker at a ski resort. I also designed, manufactured, and tested a commercial boot dryer for residential use. I have made many technical drawings with bend lines and hole treatments for the machinists and shop operators in our warehouse to use as supplements to their fabrication process, so as to make the manufacturing process more streamlined.

Redesigned front impact protection using a composite sandwich plate, decreasing the weight of the nose and significantly improving handling, as well as fabricated and assembled chassisUsed Ansys Explicit Dynamics to design and simulate various models before real-world testing

Explored NERVA-based NTP designs and theoretical Centrifugal NTP designs with input from BWXT

Taught incoming engineering freshmen at Ohio State basic engineering principles and coding basics for the first year Fundamentals of Engineering classHelped guide students to getting acclimated and settled into the school and their majorTaught MATLAB

Worked in the Gas Turbine Laboratory on projects in coordination with Pratt & Whitney, Honeywell Integrated, and the GUIde Consortium. Wrote MATLAB scripts and applications for analyzing vibrational modes in a high-speed turbine bladeRan dozens of simulations to limit vibrational failure in a bladed disk test setup.Utilized MATLAB, Ansys Simulation Software.

Recorded the fluid pressure and temperature of reverse flow through a turbocharger for FordGained experience with lab procedures and real-world applications of thermodynamic principlesUtilized LabVIEW

Developed MATLAB programs to read P4 flight sensor data and analyze engine vibration modesAnalyzed Rolls-Royce BR730 Engine Pass Over data to measure N2 vibration and created noise-matched engine pairs to best optimize and reduce overall noise in future aircraftUtilized MATLAB and ACES software to balance N1 vibration using weighted nose-cone washersConducted in-flight cabin noise surveys, and created noise level reports for customer use

The project was all about regulating a temperature control system known as a Vapor Compression System (VCS); the end goal of the internship was to fully control the VCS using a Raspberry Pi. The Pi would use various sensor inputs and adjust the different VCS components to maintain a certain temperature.Gained valuable experience with programming, motors, and temperature control.

I helped students learn to design LEGO robots and program them for specific tasks. I also helped manage curriculum.I have learnt how to work with young students and how to teach complex technical concepts in an easy-to-understand manner.
