Aug 2026 – Present

Propulsion Team Member

Purdue Orbital

Joined the propulsion team to gain experience at Zucrow Labs.

Jul 2025 – Aug 2026

Sustainable Wearable Electronics Researcher

UMBC

Designed a PCB/IC platform on a breadboard to generate electrical pulses using thermoelectric generators (TEGs) to power a wearable electrocardiograph. Tested 10 different trials with 4 different TEG sets and 3+ controlled variables to determine the best array configuration for efficient voltage generation.

Jul 2025 – Aug 2025

Thin Films Researcher

Towson University

Fabricated 10 CMO thin-film metal oxide samples using Pulsed Laser Deposition and measured electrical resistance using the four-point probe method. Attained ISO 7 clean room experience for fluorination of 5+ thin films. Collaborated with graduate researchers to characterize structural properties and correlate them with electrical transport behavior using X-Ray diffraction.

Jun 2024 – Aug 2024

NASA Data Science Analysis and Scholarly Research Paper Writing Intern

NASA

Examined ground-based light-curve data from the George Mason Telescope using a Python-based graphical system (AstroImageJ) to validate a TESS Object of Interest as a candidate exoplanet. Designed a Python Jupyter Notebook program to format 100+ images into light curve data and analyze the data as the preliminary review of exoplanet TOI 5868.01.

Sep 2020 – Jun 2026

Design Leader and Outreach Lead

FIRST Tech Challenge (FTC) Team 18996

Directed design-team meetings and applied risk-management methodologies to guide 30+ subsystem requirements and 20+ 3D printed and/or CNC'ed prototypes each season. Wired robot electrical systems and iterated more than 10 times on intake and transfer mechanisms; 3D-printed over half of the robot's parts using Fusion 360. Led outreach for 3 years, securing partnerships with 10+ sponsors, launching 3 different educational programs with local educational partners, and teaching STEM to underserved youth in Baltimore.
