EDUCATION

The Ohio State University

B.S. in Aeronautical/Astronautical Engineering with Music/Astronomy Minors

Columbus, Ohio

Graduated May, 2014

Cumulative GPA: 3.15

ACADEMIC ENGINEERING PROJECTS

Robotics Course, January – May 2010

Autonomously controlled a small robot designed to lift switches, push certain buttons, and insert a propeller into a slot. Programmed using Interactive C

Served as team leader, main builder, co-programmer, and co-documenter

Experimental Projects, August 2013 – May 2014

Developed method for improving range on a spin-stabilized projectile through boattailing geometries. Modeled in SolidWorks and FLUENT. Micro-fabricated the geometries using Aluminum rods.

Served as team leader which entailed communicating responsibilities to the group and progress to the advisor. Project sponsored by Orbital Research

PROGRAMMING EXPERIENCE

Interactive C- Used during the robotics course. Program entailed usage of user-made classes and premade functions for motor movement and sensor reading.

Autodesk/AutoCAD/SolidWorks- During robotics course and the Introductory AAE course Autodesk was used to map out designs and specifications. For the AAE course the program was used for designing a balsa wood glider and testing its center of balance and aerodynamic center. For the robotics course the program was used as a means of recording progress and keeping track of the design.

MATLAB/Mathematica- Used in various courses to solve complex mathematical problems, plot extrapolated data, and to diagram transfer functions using SIMULINK in MATLAB

FLUENT- For the Experimental projects, used to model the drag and lift effects of the projectiles using various stepped boattail geometries.
