I am a Senior in Aeronautical and Astronautical Engineering at Purdue University. I have always been fascinated with spaceflight and rockets, learning everything I can about how they work. My main extracurricular involvement on campus is Purdue Space Program Liquids, where I lead the manufacturing effort to make a liquid methane-liquid oxygen rocket aiming for 30,000ft in altitude. I work as an Undergraduate Research Assistant on the Meyer Research Group where I have been able to design, build, and test a variety of fluids and test hardware and operate test campaigns of Rotating Detonation Engines. I also worked as a Machining Peer Mentor at the Bechtel Innovation Design Center, which is the main on-campus machine shop, teaching students about CAM and the operation of CNC mills and lathes.
