Aerospace Engineering graduate currently pursuing a Master of Engineering in Industrial Automation at the Engineering Institute of Technology. Seeking an internship to acquire professional experience and contribute to meaningful projects, with the goal of transitioning to a full-time role.

• [Spacecraft Dynamics and Control] Coded and Simulated the spacecraft attitude dynamics and control system for the PROBA-2 mission, implementing nonlinear quaternion feedback control laws and reaction wheel dynamics in MATLAB/Simulink. Simulation accounted for external perturbation torques, including drag, solar radiation pressure, gravity gradient, and magnetic effects, to optimize spacecraft attitude stability and pointing accuracy.
• [Mechatronics] Completed a comprehensive Mechatronics course covering computer control systems, analog and digital electronics, Z-transforms, sampling effects, and MATLAB applications for digital signal processing and system analysis. Used computer vision to plan path for a robot end effector to move a colored block from one location to the next.
• [Space Systems Design II] Designed and created a gated, chirped frequency ground-penetrating radar (GPR) system for a theoretical Europa exploration, optimizing performance through AWR simulations and implementing a custom 10th-order Butterworth lowpass filter on a PCB. Utilized Python for setting flags for frequency chirp generation, C code for controlling SPDT gates, and conducted hardware testing to validate system functionality and performance.
