Work History
MCA Participant - Thermal Engineer & Researcher
NASA L'SPACE Program
01.2025 - Current
- Led the design of a spacecraft to carry out the mission's science objectives, specifically the development of the Thermal subsystem
- Researched similar mission's architecture for any heritage subsystems that could be utilized to increase the design's confidence
- Performed trade studies between subsystem architectures to determine which would best satisfy the mission's science objectives while maintaining awareness of the mission's design constraints for mass, power, cost, and schedule
- Demonstrated knowledge by following the NASA mission life cycle, up to submission of a Preliminary Design Review, for a robotic space mission
RESEARCH INTERN
Missouri NASA Space Grant Consortium
05.2024 - 08.2024
- Committed over 400 hours to the university M-SAT team, focusing on a variety of tasks related to the propulsion, thermal, and power subsystem
- Modeled aluminum honeycomb solar panels in Thermal Desktop, performed thermal node analysis with lumped material properties, and assisted with modelling board stack components
- Researched cold gas propulsion system using R134-a, configured coding for system control in Arduino Mega, and worked on the electronics setup for the prop system
DRIVETRAIN & CHASSIS MEMBER - HELIOS
