EDUCATION

University of Minnesota -Twin Cities, Minneapolis, MN — Expected Graduation: May 2021 Bachelor of Aerospace Engineering and Mechanics, Minor Astrophysics GPA 3.242

Relevant Coursework

● Optimal Estimation: Designed Kalman (EKF and UKF) and Particle filters, used Bayesian Estimation

● Automatic Control Systems: Designed Lead/Lag controllers as well as: PI, PD, and PID Controllers. Created simulations in MATLAB’s Simulink

● Spacecraft Attitude Dynamics and Control: Covered: Spin stabilization, dual-spin spacecraft, and gravity gradient stabilization

● Flight Dynamics and Control: Conducted tests of a UAV in a wind tunnel, used data to create a simulation of the UAV in MATLAB’s Simulink

RELEVANT EXPERIENCE AND PROJECTS

Member, Rocket Team, September 2018- May 2020

● Designed CAD models of the rocket using Solidworks.

● Compared structural and fluid dynamics of varying designs with ANSYS. Member, Solar Vehicle Project, September 2019- May 2020

● Designed the interior shrouds, and designed the shell of the car to minimize drag using CREO Lead, Windscreen Wiper System, Senior Design, September 2020-December 2020

● Led team of 8 and used Creo to design a new vertically parked windscreen wiper for Collins Aerospace. Team has a patent pending for design

● Designed a fuel efficiency model in Matlab to quantify: the amount of fuel saved, the money saved, and the amount of CO2 emissions reduced by our windscreen wiper system. Mini-Ultrastick (UAV) Stability Augmentation System: Flight Dynamics and Control, Jan. 2020-May 2020

● Conducted wind tunnel tests to determine the longitudinal static stability characteristics of the mini-ultrastick

● Designed a Stability Augmentation System for the longitudinal motion of the mini-ultrastick SKILLS
