Bio
Sydney Ballard
I had the pleasure of working alongside Gavin during our time at Sage Creek High School. He is one of the hardest working students I have known and have had the pleasure of collaborating with. While Gavin consistently proves his mastery of coursework, he also manages to remain helpful to those who need his insight and/or advice. I look forward to working with him again in the future.

Leading a collaborative mission with JPL and CSLA to develop and test an additively manufactured deployable radiator with oscillating heat pipes. Most of my time is spent working on the bus, payload integration, and deployment mechanisms. I have also spent considerable time designing and testing a baffle for our star tracker system.

Performed vibrational analysis in FEMAP to design thruster brackets that would experience little dynamic response and allow the GNC team to know the pointing of the thrusters after the vibrational launch environment. I also ran multiple vibrational tests to correlate the FEM to real life and wrote Python scripts that would perform analysis on the PSD information received from those tests.

Designed and assembled a 3-axis, tabletop, machine aimed at reducing the overall time spent removing SLA prints from the print bed and pushing their process more towards full automation. The machine was made after studying the current process, brainstorming, and testing many iterations of removing prints from the bed until the one with the lowest chance of failure was determined. With that motion in mind, I then created a machine that would consistently do that same motion.
