Promoted from Level 0 trainee to Level 2 researcher in 3 months, demonstrating rapid mastery of technical protocols and attention to detail.
Pre-verified satellite debris fragments for accuracy prior to final verification; corrected and documented discrepancies to ensure data integrity.
Operated and troubleshot advanced 2D and 3D imaging systems using command-line and MATLAB tools to capture and analyze fragment images and models.
Performed mass measurements and assessed fragment characteristics (shape, material(s) composition, color, and chamber location).
Executed fragment extraction from dust and foam panels, preserving sample integrity for further analysis.
