Engineering Sub-Team Lead - Composites

• May 2023 - Present

Current team leader for our Composites team within our Vertical Integration Project; Our team aims to use cutting edge epoxy resin casting techniques to help design an competition winning off road vehicle.Our Composites team is currently working primarily with carbon fiber regarding structure design. Main projects in our 2023-2024 season are designing streamlined protocol and better products for our vehicle, as well as, experimental techniques for epoxy resin casting manufacturing.

Engineering Team Member - Composities Subteam

• Sep 2022 - May 2023

Teammate on NYU Tandon’s Motorsports Vertical Integration Project. Currently learning basic aspects of mechanical engineering, computer automated design, and physical manufacturing as member of the composites team. My primary goal as a physics major is to have a more hands on approach to my major applied physics, learning concepts and applying them in the garage. Our Composites team is currently working primarily with carbon fiber regarding structure design. Main projects in our 2022-2023 season were carbon fiber seat manufacturing and carbon fiber body panel design and manufacturing. Show less

Undergraduate Ambassador

• Dec 2022 - Present

I act as part time ambassador aiding veterans in their journey of pursuing undergraduate education via essay writing, application details, and strategies for admissions to top tier schools. I have aided one veteran in successful admission to Brown University majoring in Electrical Engineering. I am currently advising two veterans. One aiming to attend MIT Fall 2024 in computational physics, and another looking to NYU Tandon majoring in Computer Science for Fall 2024.

HC-130J Loadmaster

• Jan 2022 - Present

I am currently a traditional guardsmen serving under the 106th Rescue Wing as a Rescue Loadmaster on HC-130Js. Our mission is to provide support to HH-60s and Pararescue Teams in civilian and hostile environments to rescue those in need so “That others may live.” I am currently a traditional guardsmen serving under the 106th Rescue Wing as a Rescue Loadmaster on HC-130Js.

REVU Fellow - Researcher

• Jun 2023 - Aug 2023

I was a Summer 2023 Intern working as undergraduate researcher at Yale University at Wright Labs in Jack Harris’s Group. We investigated how to optimize the size of Superfluid Helium-4 droplets in vacuum after putting the droplets larger than 0.5 mm into vacuum for the first time. This will provide the experimental apparatus for the following optical experiment in Whispering Gallery Modes in Superfluid Helium-4. I was able to present my work at Princeton, Yale University, and NYU. Big Lessons Learned this during this Internship: • Developing, executing, and refining advanced physics experiment apparatus’s & protocol. • Data management, logging data, and transcribing observations in real time. • Conducting experimental physics research and understanding larger implications in the field. • Effective science communication to the public on our labs research. • Construction, maintenance, and upkeep of cryogenic chambers, cryostats specifically. • Conceptual understanding and applications of magnetic levitation. • Design, construction, and operations of vacuum manifolds. • Handling cryogenic material such Liquid Nitrogen & Helium, Dewars, and Helium recovery systems. • Design, construction, and testing of advanced electrical circuits and relays. • Operating and ensuring safety protocol for superconducting electromagnets. • Advanced thermodynamics, specifically for experiments, cryostats, and superfluid Helium-4. • Optical experimental apparatus’s and introductory conceptual understanding of photonics tools. • Designing and building products with LATEC coding platform. • CAD Design and 3-D printing.
