Worked on creating a model of the Venusian atmosphere and understanding the effects of planetary rotation rate and axial tilt on the upper atmosphere
"Using the Global Ionosphere-Thermosphere Model to understand the importance of planetary attributes on Earth's upper atmosphere" poster for the Women in Planetary Science and Exploration 2018 conference
"Using the development process of the Venus Global Ionosphere-Thermosphere Model to understand the importance of planetary attributes on Earth's atmosphere" poster for the Coupling, Energetics and Dynamics of Atmospheric Regions (CEDAR) 2017 conference
"Differential Drag Analysis to Infer the Geometrical Configuration of a Cubesat" poster contributor for the American Geophysical Union (AGU) 2016 conference
Overall project was on developing the technology to implement boron nitride nanotubes into a metal matrix for use in aerospace structures
"Boron Nitride Nanotube-Titanium Alloy Nanocomposites" presentation contributor for the 2016 Pacific Rim Symposium on Surfaces, Coatings and Interfaces (PacSurf)
Individual work on integrating the nanotubes into the metal matrix
Sample preparation including polishing and microtoming
Sample analysis through SPM and optical microscopy
Materials characterization with DSC, FTIR, Raman spectroscopy
Investigated the effects of a new automated manufacturing method (shifting) for deforming fiberglass to fit a mold of the trailing edge of a wind turbine blade
