RESEARCH EXPERIENCE

Structures and Composites Laboratory

Stanford AeroAstro - Palo Alto, CA

Researcher – Active Turbulence System Development and Fabrication                 June 2019 – Aug 2019

  • Explored the possibilities of integrating Microsoft’s Hololens with ROS via Unity

  • Experimented with a Raspberry Pi using various operating systems in order to read in depth sensing information via Intel’s Realsense Depth Sensor - despite the Raspberry Pi’s limited computing power

Human Systems Laboratory

MIT AeroAstro - Cambridge, MA

Researcher – Autonomous Inspector Drones                                                         Feb 2019 – June 2019

Space Propulsion Laboratory

MIT AeroAstro - Cambridge, MA

Researcher – 1-butyl 3-methylimidazolium (BMI-I) synthesis                             Feb 2018 – June 2018

  • Synthesized 50 mL of BMI-I – an ionic liquid propellant for ion electrospray thrusters

  • Calculated, planned, and constructed the experimental set up for the synthesis of the ionic liquid: BMI-I

  • Created an experimental procedure in order to ensure the lab’s ability to synthesize BMI-I in the future

Space Systems Laboratory

MIT AeroAstro-Cambridge, MA 

Researcher – ZERO Robotics                                                  Sept 2016 – Jan 2017

  • Programmed in C++ in order to master, debug, and later develop code used in an international high school robotics competition

  • Utilized C++ to autonomously control small spherical satellites in microgravity environments

  • Engaged a live crowd of 400 – and an international at-home audience of 5000+ – as a Masters of Ceremonies for the final international competition

Information Theory and System Lab

UCLA EE Department - Los Angeles, CA 

Researcher – Analyzing Cooperative Video Streaming via HTTP over TCP-enabled Wireless Network              

June 2015 – Aug 2015

  • Collaborated with a professor, two graduate students, and a fellow high school student to implement the wireless scheme the lab was focusing on called ‘cooperation’

  • Developed a working video player that utilized ‘cooperation’ by modifying open source code in C++
