This past spring, I graduated from Columbia University with a Bachelor of Science in Mechanical Engineering. While there, I was Co-President of the Columbia Space Initiative, where I worked in a team of undergraduates to develop two cube satellites scheduled for launch in 2026 and 2027. I also conducted research in Columbia’s Robotic Manipulation and Mobility Lab, where I designed and built robotic grippers for various applications.
My previous work has spanned CFD rotor blade simulations for Dragonfly as an intern at NASA; wildlife tracking using cube satellites as a Summer Scholar at Carnegie Mellon’s Robotics Institute; the development of astronaut tools that were tested in the NBL; two summers of ground-end satellite software development at Lockheed Martin Space; and stress analysis on solar sails as a research assistant in Columbia’s astronomy department.
Outside of my work, I’m passionate about STEM outreach and educational equity, and I dedicate much of my free time to teaching, giving campus tours, volunteering in NYC middle schools, and enjoying good cups of coffee.
