• 

  Riverside Research

  Jun 2018 - Aug 2018

  Intern - Electrical Engineering and Radar Systems

  -Compiled research into software-defined radio systems and hardware, as well as into the US Military’s use of the Blue Force Indicator IFF system, for Riverside’s projects with the United States Air Force-Wrote and revised programs for waveform creation and analysis in MATLAB, including multiple GUIs for the specification and display of waveform properties, scripts for the Fourier analysis of selected waveforms, statistical analyses of data acquired by the COBRA DANE radar station in Alaska, and comparisons of different waveforms being considered for future use in multiutility radar units Show less

• 

  Lowell Center for Space Science and Technology

  Dec 2019 - Mar 2020

  Fellow - Software Defined Radio Development

  -Conducted research into the development of programs for the creation of preambles and synchronization words in QPSK for cubesat data transmissions-Engaged in the application of the above research to the development of programs for the Center’s SPACE HAUC cubesat and its AD9361 and AD364 transceivers, launched in August 2021

• 

  MITRE

  May 2020 - Jul 2020

  Sensor Systems Engineering Intern

  -Analyzed civilian ATC data from flights across the United States to aid in the choice of USAF IFF sensors and testing locations and times, so as to avoid interference with civilian aircraft, using Google Earth mapping services and Python analysis software-Simulated UAV intrusions on USAF bases using MATLAB software in order to test USAF defenses, with civilian airport as a model defense zone

• 

  Riverside Research

  May 2021 - Aug 2021

  Intern -- Radar Assessment and Development

  -Researched visibility of radar target features according to geometric and electromagnetic theory-Programmed MATLAB simulations of radar target visibility according to this research, allowing radar systems to distinguish between diminished returns due to interference and diminished returns due to change in target profile-Wrote scripts which allowed users to set radar returns manually or automatically for particular features, and to input targets in .stl or .mat formats

• 

  Pfizer

  Jan 2022 - Jul 2022

  Reliability Engineering Co-op

  • Entered work order data for utility maintenance at Pfizer Global Supply site in Andover• Analyzed maintenance history data to identify assets which have the most deferred maintenance, assets with the highest work order counts in the last ten and last five years, and assets which are becoming more failure prone over time, in connection with Pfizer’s predictive maintenance program• Mapped out part replacement processes for streamlining by EMU management• Installed vibration sensors on industrial motors Show less

• 

  University of Massachusetts Lowell

  Sept 2022 - May 2023

  • Worked in Department of Mechanical Engineering and Professor Noah Van Dam’s Multiphase and Reacting Flows Laboratory on computational fluid dynamics projects funded by the Office of Naval Research• Performed image processing and analysis of ammonia flame shapes in MATLAB at different equivalence ratios, using images from CFD CONVERGE software and experimental photographs from Professor John Mack’s Energy and Combustion Research Laboratory, for use in naval energy storage and USV/UUV propulsion applications Show less
