RESEARCH EXPERIENCE
Undergraduate Research
May 2014 – July 2014
Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University – Blacksburg, VA
Develop a propulsion system for a flexible underwater glider. Generated algorithm, which yields values of full thrusts achievable with respect to the design parameters using FMC actuators. Research in “Cost of Transport” efficiency using smart piezoelectric material. The work at Virginia Tech will assist the global findings for the Europa mission to one of Jupiter’s moons. Completion of research with final paper submitted to AIAA.

Senior Spacecraft Design
August 2016 – May 2017
Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University – Blacksburg, VA
Design a habitat for exploration and which can eventually evolve into a fully functioning, Earth-independent 200+ colony, which can sustain and support a permanent human presence. The design philosophy will emphasize a minimalist, simple, robust, and reliable approach, which will mitigate the harmful effects of space radiation, ensure an ultra-reliable environment control and life support system, and a feasible logistics supply and/or in-situ production strategy. Must be cheaper than current proposed ideas. Team lead in design report among other functional divisions.
