• Contributed to new rule development in DFMPro leveraging a background in coding, and support ongoing rule evaluations and configurations.• Automated the process of presenting which voters have signed off on a change notice within the design release progression.• Created a Confluence page that members within the MFC Mechanical Engineering team can update to streamline information for weekly updates.

• Instructed students from both Penn State and surrounding community on the basics of skiing and the mountain safety code.• Became certified by the Professional Ski Instructors of America (PSIA) as a level 1 ski instructor and further went for a child specialist certification.

• Created code an altering occupancy grid to aid in quantifying the trust between autonomous agents.• Simulated the functionality of a novel sensor in Gazebo, while working with an evolving repository.• Established a ROS environment needed for corporate partners to drag and drop their packages into.• Investigated different algorithms for their efficiency and accuracy at rejecting artifacts from electroencephalogram (EEG) data.• Created a sequence diagram to explain the process for a robotic arm sander.• Oversaw and determined the scope of the work of two short-term undergraduate interns.• Coordinated with material supply manufacturer to rectify errors in product and user manual.

East Halls• Directly supervised 40 residents and co-supervised 400 residents through their first year transition and advised them on academic decisions for their following semesters. • Organized educational and social events to establish a sense of community on a coed floor. • Performed administrative duties including inspection of safety equipment and budget management.

• Created a Python node in robot operating system (ROS) that identified the type of terrain the robot was traversing based on the magnitude of change in the roll, pitch, and yaw.• Studied how a robot’s center of mass relates to the locations of the instantaneous centers of rotation, by adding a variety of weights to the body of the robot.• Tested a UGV to find its mechanical and electrical limits on an obstacle coarse approved by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST).

Robotic Decision Making Lab• Analyzed data structures and identified relevant variables in order to reconstruct 2D SONAR images into a 3D map of underwater environments. • Applied learned mathematical concepts of mechatronics, including number theory and data theory, to write algorithms that aided in the extraction of pertinent variables from large data pools.• Facilitated the testing of an unmanned underwater vehicle in a prescribed swimming pool setup.

Women in Engineering Program• Mentored students in WEP to increase the retention and engagement of female students.• Planned and facilitated weekly sessions reviewing the topics of calculus II and differential equations. • Developed strong teaching abilities by clarifying material from class to ensure student understanding.

Intelligent Vehicles and Systems Group• Designed a wiring schematic that removed ground fault loops from a mapping vehicle. • Completed all aspects of the wiring diagram, including measuring necessary wire lengths, soldering, and fabrication of laser cut acrylic mounts. • Collected visual mapping data to quantitatively support graduate theses on horizon feature detection.
