President

Student Organization for Aerospace Research (SOAR)

As President of SOAR, an organization focused around high-altitude sounding rockets and balloons, I was in charge of the overall organization and project management of the club. As SOAR's third president, my goal was primarily focused around increasing our impact, capacity, and budget so that the club could grow to the same size as other, more established clubs at the university all while maintaining our reputation for excellence in technical achievements. My philosophy was that, as much as logistically possible, we should be a no-cut team and should welcome all students who wish to learn more about rocketry, avionics, engineering, and physics no matter if they only want to attend workshops or if they'd like to be a core member of the rocket development process.

Detailed accomplishments:

• Restructuring of leadership roles
• Implementation of robust internal procedures:
• Project proposal reviews for all sub-teams
• Budget reviews for all expenses
• Implementation of educational curriculum for members
• Increased membership capacity and enrollment
• Expansion of club’s impact to local and national initiatives

Student Researcher

Whelan Lab

During my time at the Whelan lab, I customized and refined a virtual reality environment for mice using two different systems for tracking virtual position. The first using a stepper motor for linear motion and the second using optical flow on an air-supported ball for two dimensional movement. I also lead inquiry into more permanent storage mediums for high resolution microscope images, coordinating with the relevant parties and companies.
