Engineering Projects

Folding Drone Wing

Designed and manufactured a 9 ft folding wing for an Unmanned Aerial Vehicle. Used composite and metallic materials that increased flight time and distance by 50%, compared to original aluminum wings.

CubeSat Development

Developed a CubeSat and conducted two high altitude balloon launches that went 130,000 ft up in the stratosphere and collected temperature and radiation data.

NASA’s CubeSat Launch Initiative

Authored a paper that planned a mission to send a constellation of cubesats to lunar orbit to facilitate communications between lunar gateway and moon.
