Related Experience
Detailed Spacecraft Design( August 2012 – August 2013)
This project designed the entire mission architecture for a possible manned mission to Mars. As the
subsystems leader of the team, I conceptualized the different spacecraft systems, modeled the vehicle
configurations, and computed data for air-braking maneuvers using Java.
Competed as finalist in RASC-AL National Competitions sponsored by NASA (June 2013)
Windmill Research Project( June 2009 – June 2010)
This project attempted to calculate the aerodynamic wind created by vehicles in highways and whether
energy could be harvested from it. As the team leader, I designed wind anemometers, assembled
anemometer apparatus, and gathered and analyzed data from the anemometers. As the spokesperson, I
also presented the data to the panel of judges at the EPA competitions.
Competed in Environmental Protection Agency National Competitions (June 2010)
