I was matched with Astranis through the Matthew Isakowitz Fellowship. I contributed to development of the block 2 vehicle and future Omega program. Specifically, I:

• Designed an electric propulsion thrust stand
• Developed tests to recreate a deployment failure
• Developed better motor testing infrastructure
• Worked interdisciplinarily with electrical engineering to design an electronics enclosure for radiation shielding

I worked on the Joby Battery Mechanical team developing high specific energy batteries for aviation. I:

• Reduced weight and improved strength of battery terminals
• Designed a test fixture to simulate battery expansion during the end of life
• Developed a test to simulate high temperature breakdown of dielectric materials during thermal runaway
• Created an automated system for measuring thermal resistance of contact materials

I worked on the hardware team at Argo, where I helped to test and characterize sensors for autonomous vehicles. I:

• Design an enclosure for testing cameras without light interference
• Designed an automated system for testing and calibrating LIDAR sensors
• Redesigned lidar calibration targets for different materials

I cofounded the Stanford Autonomous Underwater Vehicle team, and have led the mechanical team through the design and build of two vehicle. I:

• Conducted trade studies on vehicle design
• Developed size, buoyancy, and financial budgets
• Taught new members Fusion 360 and design for manufacturing
• Designed and built the electronics enclosure

I led the Stanford Flight Club through a year of growth and competition. I:

• Brought back the Design, Build, Fly competition team
• Recruited new members through events and greater campus presence
• Developed project grants for funding student projects
