On the LADEE lunar mission, I developed a data pipeline for the extraction and modeling of lunar dust impacts onto a mass spectrometer to help answer several scientific questions about the lunar surface plasma environment and dust trajectories. This work was presented in San Francisco at the American Geophysical Union Fall Conference (2015). Additionally, I developed a fully functional lab model mass spectrometer of the SUDA instrument planned for the Europa Clipper mission. This required circuit simulation, pcb fabrication, solidworks CAD, part fabrication & cleaning, calibration and impact testing using a dust accelerator, and project management skills. The lab instrument addressed several outstanding scientific questions to finalize the materials, electric potentials, and design of the full-scale engineering model put into production shortly after I left.
