Complete research and development of a novel ornithopter that uses passive aeroelastic twist to achieve flight. Responsible for the design, analysis, and testing of the drivetrain and tail mechanism. Conducted multiple tests to correlate lift and drag to predicted values. Developed PID control loops for flight stability that implemented with multiple servos and motors.

Teach advanced machining techniques to students. CNC and manual mill hundreds of parts for research, project teams, and classes.

Designed and manufactured a test setup to determine the maximum exclusion angle

from the sun for star-tracking cameras. Analyzed and proof tested multiple components necessary to transport the satellites to the launch site. Tested solar arrays for debris and analyzed the risks of potential debris.
