Engineering
My Background
From building my first radio-controlled airplane to running experiments on the Mars Perseverance Rover, I have always had an aspiration to build and explore. Science and engineering have played prominent roles in shaping my life, from what books I read as a kid to what discipline I chose for my graduate career. My work can be categorized in three distinct areas: academic research, the private space industry, and the government space sector. Each area has its own unique contributions to both technology and the broader impacts for our planet. Consistent across all aspects of my work is the theme of exploration and sustainability. I look to the future with possibility and excitement as I expand the frontier of human spaceflight.
