Design, Analysis, and Test of a High-Powered Model Rocket
Senior Capstone Project, August 2020-March 2021
On an 8 person team, I completed my MQP. The team designed a high powered rocket to propulsivley land. My main contribution was a 6 degree of freedom dynamical simulator that modeled the entire flight of the vehicle.

Collaborative Space Debris Surveillance
Graduate Directed Research, C and D term 2021
I am currently working together with another student to develop an algorithm to enable arbitrary satellites in low Earth orbit to work together to estimate the orbits of space debris. We are creating a simulation to validate the method.
Electrohydrodynamically Enhanced Two Phase Flow in Microchannels
Graduate Directed Research, D term 2020 and B term 2021
I worked on designing a new testing apparatus for studying Electrohydrodynamically Enhanced Two Phase Flow in Microchannels. In the past, I completed a literature review on nucleate boiling in microchannels for this project.
Optical Isolation System for Temperature Profiling of a Pulsed Plasma Thruster Fuel Bar
Graduate Directed Research, B term 2021
A prior student created a teflon fuel bar with four embedded thermocouples in order to measure its temperature during operation. They must be electrically insulated from the computer reading them. I worked to create an optical isolation circuit for this.
