Jet Propulsion Labs

At my Co-Op at NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory, I was granted the chance to work on two separate full-scale tests of the Mars Sample Return’s supersonic entry chute. My first assignment was on a Dynamic Extraction Test of the parachute from the deployment bag...

Automated Oil Paint Mixer and Dispenser

Automated Oil Paint MIXER AND DISPENSER

Northeastern University: I, along with a team of four other engineers, developed an oil paint dispensing machine that scans a color and, utilizing a color mixing API, extrudes the correct ratio of primary paints to create the desired color when mixed.

CFD Analysis of Space X Starship

CFD analysis of Space X's Starship re-entry stage

Northeastern University: Utilizing Solidworks, ANSYS Fluent, and Matlab, I performed a CFD analysis of Space X's Starship Rocket upon its re-entry stage into the atmosphere. Pulling pressure profiles and Velocity fields, I was able to evaluate the effectiveness of Starship's bellyflop technique.

Desktop Storage Unit

3D Fortify: Desktop storage system designed to house all accessories, tools, and extra parts that come with a purchase of a 3D Printer. Additionally has features like an elevated bed to allow extra films to be stored underneath and a drip tray to allow parts, build plates, and wipers to hang dry without making a mess.

Lead Screw Clamp Fixture

Lead Screw Clamping Fixture

3D Fortify: Assembly fixture designed to protect the threads of the main lead screw when friction fitting bearings onto the shaft. Designed to optimize thread protection and ease of use to decrease issues during assembly procedures.

Build Plate Leveling Fixture

3D Fortify: Assembly fixture designed to allow for precision leveling. A large, spring loaded, precision ground plate, in three-point contact with ballpoint set screws, forces any lack of parallelism to be magnified and corrected with the additional use of a granite stone and drop gauge. 

Hand Generator Heated Gloves

Hand Generator Heated Gloves

Northeastern University: Heated gloves with the ability to be recharged on the go by a hand held generator to ensure that a charge never goes empty.
