CAREER PROGRESSION

Space Coroner 2019 - 2020

Project Manager – San Diego, CA

Proposed a solution to counteract the Kessler syndrome with a swarm of satellites to diminish the economic impact of space debris on future space missions.

Laid the foundation for the design of each subsystem to facilitate research, manufacturing, and procurement of the satellites’ components.

Tailored the propulsion subsystem to ensure optimal operation of every satellite for the duration of the entire mission using mono methyl hydrazine and nitrogen tetroxide.

Authored and edited a MATLAB code to facilitate the redesigning of every satellite iteration.

Diminished the cost of the mission by 20% space debris by ensuring that every component meets the requirements, and constraints of the mission as efficiently as possible.

FAR-Mars Competition 2020

Project Manager– San Diego, CA

Optimized the fuel, and oxidizer pressure fed delivery systems to ensure proper mixture ratio, and combustion of a FAR-Mars Competition Rocket.

Maximized the airframe of a FAR-Mars rocket to minimize the drag while in flight using RAS-Aero.

San Diego State University Guidance, Navigation, and Control and Astronautics Laboratory 2019 - 2020

Research Internship – San Diego, CA

Worked to develop a single equation to describe translational and rotation motion simultaneously.

Authored and edited a MATLAB code to avoid singularities while a satellite performs attitude corrections.

San Diego State University Senior Project 2019 - 2020

Aerodynamics and Propulsions Engineer – San Diego, CA

Optimized the aerodynamic performance of a radio-controlled vertical takeoff and landing tail sitter aircraft by implementing airfoil, control surfaces, and fuselage into the original design.

Redesigned the airfoil for the flight model through performing a wind tunnel test within the San Diego State University subsonic wind tunnel resulting in gathering comprehensive data and setting a new minimum requirement for a new airfoil.

Authored and edited a MATLAB code to provide project management the performance of the aircraft.

San Diego State University Composite Materials Laboratory 2019

Research Internship – San Diego, CA

Effectively designed a fixture for a tensile testing Instrom machine to perform a single cantilever beam test on a honeycomb specimen to test for adhesive strength on tapered structures.
