Rockets, Rockets, Rockets
Rocketry is one of my passions in life, and I am involved in it any way I can. At Northeastern University I am a part of the rocket club on campus (AIAA), serving as the Operations Manager on the E-Board, member and director of the Design Safety Committee, as well as the CTO and Systems Lead for Project Karman. I also support out new liquid rocket engine team, focusing on feed system development.
As Operations Manager I coordinate with Northeastern's Risk Services department to ensure that our club is insured at each rocket launch, manage the Design Safety Committee (DSC) and Safety Officers, and ensure that our closet and lab space is maintained. As part of the DSC I work to ensure that each rocket the club creates will have a high chance of success, and will be safe.
Project Karman is Northeastern AIAA's 'entry' into the unofficial intercollegiate space race, where our goal is to become the first university team to reach the Karman Line: the defined boarder of earth and space, 100km above sea level. I serve as the projects technical lead; orchestrating subgroups, developing technical plans and full scale design and simulations, and coordinating with Erica Traini, the other Project Manager to keep us on a path that leads to space. I additionally perform various engineering tasks when I can provide incite to problems or just want to dive in. Further information on additional projects that I've worked on can be viewed by clicking the links below.
THINGS THIS PAGE IS MISSING (As of June 2018):
- My work on the AIAA Liquid Rocket Engine project (50 lbf isopropyl alcohol + gaseous oxygen)
- The custom PCBAs and avionics architecture that I designed to improve the functionality of our rockets
- The two stage rocket we launched as a Project Karman sub-scale test
- The work I've done on the final Karman rocket - design and simulations for the first University rocket to reach space
- The filter I've been designing that will allow for accurately recording the position of the rocket in flight
- The other 800 rocket things I've done and can't remember right now
