My current goal is to find a job which promotes learning new skills, challenges, and teamwork. I'd prefer to stay in the state (Alabama) although if an opportunity outside comes along I will consider moving if it aligns with my plans to develop professionally. When I was a graduate research assistant at the University of South Alabama, I applied my skills and knowledge in aerospace engineering, 3D modeling, and prototyping to various research projects. I also have experience in composites manufacturing and testing for carbon fiber reinforced plastics (CFRP), which I gained from my past position at the same university.My thesis focused on non-destructive evaluation (NDT) testing for CFRP using infrared thermography with joule heating as the heat source. I have tested different forms of CFRP, such as Z-threaded CFRP (ZT-CFRP), which has enhanced thermal, electrical, and mechanical properties. Additionally, I was a team lead in the I-CORPS program, where I conducted interviews and market research at the CAMX 2021 conference in Dallas, TX. I facilitated the logistics and expenses for the trip for two other students, and I presented the findings and recommendations at the end of the course.I was awarded a summer undergraduate research fellowship from my university in 2020 and worked on the JagSAT-1 project. I acted as the thermal lead for a 2U cubesat satellite that launched last September to analyze plasma fields in low earth orbit. I learned and used Ansys Workbench and Ansys APDL to create a realistic simulation of the satellite and its environment, and I was involved in material analysis and selection for insulation and wrapping purposes.
