Science Instrumentation/Powerplant Designer

• Aug 2022 - Jun 2023

● Collaborated with UC Davis environmental research department in a project funded by The Green Initiative Fund (TGIF) to design an autonomous electric aircraft capable of measuring methane and greenhouse flux rates near water reservoirs.● Devised an automated data collection system during flight using methane/GHG sensors, and IR cameras, necessary to meet the mission's scientific objectives.● Assisted in the design of the propulsion system of the aircraft with a payload of 10 lbs.

Powerplant Lead Designer

• Sep 2021 - May 2022

● Build an all-electric aircraft able to carry a payload, have a gross weight of 50 lbs, and a wingspan of 120 inches to compete in the SAE Aero Design Competition. ● Determine the appropriate propeller and motor size to generate 10 lb of thrust from in-lab testing and use MATLAB to plot results from different propellers. ● Design, build and test the powerplant subsystem and validate lab results on Cadence for determining servo size for control surfaces with wing loads up to 0.44oz/sq ft ● Build an all-electric aircraft able to carry a payload, have a gross weight of 50 lbs, and a wingspan of 120 inches to compete in the SAE Aero Design Competition. ● Determine the appropriate propeller and motor size to generate 10 lb of thrust from in-lab testing and use MATLAB to plot results from different propellers. ● Design, build and test the powerplant subsystem and validate lab results on Cadence for determining servo size for control surfaces with wing loads up to 0.44oz/sq ft
