Cargo Rover for a Lunar Base; Part 1
The Lunar Rover!!! A future lunar base will have a ton of jobs for robotics to complete – I decided to narrow the scope of my project down to transporting supplies. To resupply a lunar base, you’ll need to send a lander. The types of supplies will probably include food, water, oxygen, equipment, tools, new…

Proposal to Microsoft: Reducing Water Consumption in Data Centers
Worked with a team to develop a proposal to Microsoft for reducing the environmental impact of their data centers. Our solution involves WaterPanel, a system that catches water vapor before it leaves the cooling system to be reused, to reduce the water usage of the data center. This solution could reduce the costs of the…

Proposal to Meta: Preventing Scams on Social Platforms
I worked as the project manager on a project proposal for Meta to improve the state of scams on their platforms. Our proposal includes implementing more verification features, a facial recognition software to prevent bot accounts, and a bot detection algorithm to remove existing bot accounts. These features are designed to improve the experience for…

Simulating Rocket Designs to Understand How Starship Flies
I used a software to design and simulate rockets. Afterward, I did an in-depth analysis of the results from my rocket design/simulation experiments. I take the data and come to conclusions that intuitively mirror real aerospace engineering principles.
