About Me

I am an Aerospace Engineer with a passion for spaceflight and eager to contribute to shaping the next age in exploration and utilization of space. I love to learn and explore new ideas both in my work and outside it through my other passions.

I have a background in satellite development, operations, and architecture analysis and design. I am currently a Space Architecture Performance Analyst at The Aerospace Corporation and primarily work on space architecture analysis, spaceflight dynamics, and tool development in support of these areas. 

I graduated from the Georgia Institute of Technology with an M.S. and B.S. in Aerospace Engineering with a focus on space systems, satellite development and operations, and flight dynamics. I also worked in the Space Systems Design Lab at Georgia Tech from 2017 to 2019 doing subsystem design, operations planning, and flight dynamics analysis on a CubeSat satellite project.

Master’s Program Research

January – December 2019

  • Created flight software in Goddard Space Flight Center open source 42 simulation to filter modeled LiDAR and optical object tracking sensor data, perform trajectory estimation, and maintain tracking of a deployed inflatable body in support of the Tethering and Ranging mission of the Georgia Institute of Technology (TARGIT).
  • Provided dynamics analysis of TARGIT CubeSat and inflated deployed body in operational orbit to aid in attitude control design and successful mission execution.
  • Created segmented and spring models of the space tether system.
  • Used simulation to aid in related SSDL optical camera tracking simulation research.
  • Refined modeling software and improved simulation execution time.
  • Validated prior tether simulations and used results of work to inform mission and system design.
 
Flight Dynamics Mission Analyst – OneWeb

December 2019 – March 2020

  • Served as flight dynamics support to satellite operators, including during launch and early operations as well as during nominal satellite operations.
  • Assisted in coordination and implementation of satellite orbit raising campaigns.
  • Developed code tools to interface with Systems Tool Kit (STK) facilitating analysis of satellite conjunctions, burn planning, and orbit determination results.
  • Conducted modeling of satellite orbital parameters to better target desired constellation deployment and associated orbit raising strategies.
  • Assisted in validation of orbit determination, modeling, and satellite state propagation.
Georgia Tech TARGIT CubeSat Project

January 2017 – May 2018

  • Supported research in Georgia Tech Space Systems Design Lab, primarily on the NASA Undergraduate Student Instrument Project to develop TARGIT LiDAR CubeSat.
  • Served as team lead on the Electric Power System team heading design and prototyping of inhouse fabricated solar panels and battery pack.
  • Responsible for system development progress and reporting as well as communication to other team leads and NASA representatives at Conceptual and Preliminary Design Reviews
  • Created operations plans and power modeling code for orbit and panel configuration analysis.
