Experience

Purdue Space Program Student Launch Team, Purdue, IN (2018-Current) Payload Subteam Placed 12th out of 45 teams

(2018-2019)

● Design and constructed a rover capable of ejecting from a landed rocket and autonomously travel 10 feet away from its landing zone to collect 10 milliliters of soil

● Built body, tires, and soil collection rake through 3D modeling and printing

● Calculated and tested amount of black powder needed to eject and release rover from fairing Safety Subteam Placed 9th out of 63 teams

(2019-2020)

● Managed and analyzed all potential personal, mission, and environmental hazards and documented through risk and hazard analysis

● Enforced safety standards put into place by OSHA, ANSI, and NASA regulations. Found and made sure there were MSDS data sheets for all items and that all safety standards were followed Drone, Purdue, IN (2018-Current)

● Acted as team lead for a 2-person team in creating a flying quadcopter from scratch utilizing 3D modeling and printing for the body. Planned, wired and soldered circuit board. Programmed drone using arduino. Astronomy Research with Dr. Jian Ge at the University Of Florida, Gainesville, FL (2017)

● Served as team lead for a 3-person research team tasked with programming a Tip-Tilt mirror system to correct star light fluctuation caused by atmospheric turbulence. The Tip-Tilt System serves to increase precision of radial velocity measurements used for the discovery of new exoplanets

● Developed a bench optics system to accurately predict how starlight travels through and is affected by Earth’s atmosphere

● Authored a research paper titled “Developing a Tip-Tilt System for Greater Precision in the Discovery of Low-Mass Exoplanets”, based on results from research. Research was submitted to the Siemens Competition and made it to the semi-finals Mars Landing Vehicle Mentorship Program, Ft. Lauderdale, FL (2015-2017)

● Researched, designed, and simulation tested a landing vehicle capable of safely landing a 10 ton payload onto the surface of Mars, under the direction of Dr. Gale Allen, retired Deputy Chief Scientist of NASA. Project was done in order to create a proof of concept of how heavier payloads could be landed for future Mars missions Skills
