I hope to utilize my technical skill and problem solving mindset in a role performing propulsion system design and/or analysis.
I. EDUCATION
UNIVERSITY OF MICHIGAN, ANN ARBOR — Ann Arbor, Michigan
Bachelor of Science in Engineering in Aerospace Engineering | May 2015
Relevant Coursework & Concepts:
- Solid mechanics, gas dynamics, aircraft/spacecraft structures, aerodynamics, aircraft/spacecraft propulsion, space flight mechanics, aircraft dynamics and control, rocket propulsion, space system design
II. PROJECTS
Space Mission Design | February 2015 to April 2015
Overview: Propulsion team lead; researched various CubeSat thruster options (chemical and electrical) for mission designed to perform for NASA’s CubeQuest challenge.
Rocket Igniter | January 2015 to April 2015
Overview: Redesigned and constructed Restartable Hybrid Rocket Igniter with fuel/oxidizer premixing stage using Propane and Nitrous Oxide.
Results: Successful ignition/extinguish/re-ignition during testing with temperatures in excess of 1400 Kelvin
Hovercraft | January 2014 to April 2014
Overview: Manipulated Arduino program, microcontroller, and motor control board to ensure thrust vectoring, camera system, and lift fan could be remotely controlled; drove vehicle for team during competition.
Results: Hovercraft earned 1st place in competitive obstacle course race.
Remotely Operated Vehicle | February 2012 to April 2012
Overview: Constructed model underwater ROV using provided laboratory material (PVC, foam, zip ties, etc.). Designed for data collection via mounted camera while submerged.
Results: Vehicle performed proper maneuvering; sank due to excessive ballast during operation.
Flow Adhesion Model | November 2011 to April 2012
Overview: Mimicked blood flow in the body to detect metastasis of cultured human squamous cell carcinomas in a real-life environment; worked under accredited Otolaryngologist at University of Michigan Cancer Center as part of Undergraduate Research Opportunity Program; performed meticulous cell cultures and cell counting techniques while developing familiarity with process of cancer metastasis.
Results: Observed cancer cell attachment via Sialyl-Lewis X/E-Selectin bond, first step in metastatic process.
Bathysphere | September 2011 to December 2011
Overview: Constructed a model, pressurized submersible capable of safely descending with payload and crew using provided laboratory materials; minimum descent time ...
