Research Assistant

Center for Aerospace Structures

May 2018 – Aug 2018 Boulder, CO

Worked alongside PhD candidates to develop analytical models for advanced structures, both aerospace and otherwise. Specifically worked on software that could ingest thousands of CAT scan slices and construct a 3D model of the object being scanned.

Relevant Skills Learned:

  • Data Processing Techniques
  • C++ Algorithm Development
 
 
 
 
 

Research Assistant

MIT Lincoln Laboratory

May 2017 – Sep 2017 Lexington, MA

Supported the Air Force Red Team group to gain a better understanding of the aerothermodynamic effects that high-speed flight induces on a ballistic missile. Successfully developed a physics-based model for predicting missile dome failure due to supersonic speed-induced heating.

Relevant Skills Learned:

* Independent Research
* MATLAB Algorithm Development
* Professional Presentation
