      Manage a group of students with a detailed project plan with hard and soft deadlines. Modify an Ender 3 Pro 3D printer to simulate the printing of moon regolith through the process of adjusting the firmware and hardware, disabling the heating and extruding components, adding a method to control the flow of the cement and moon regolith simulant. Research and design scale models of extraterrestrial architecture and infrastructure. Future plans involve altering the 3D printer to operate in a vacuum and melting moon regolith in an industrial microwave, finding/developing a binding agent for the regolith, or developing a laser printer for the moon regolith. Show less As Vice President of Rensselaer Spaceflight Society, I managed meeting logistics, scheduling, recruitment, outreach, social medias, the club website, and anything the President needed done. During my year as VP, I was able to secure funding from the MANE Department at RPI, in addition to a new lab space in the Ricketts Building. With this new lab space we have been able to have larger areas for our tech and tools and more space to collaborate and work on our various research projects. I also designed all our unique career, professional, and academic related events outside of regular project committee meetings and made posters, instagram posts, etc. to advertise for them. I also made all the posters and instagram posts for research project recruitment in addition to designing a website for the club. I utilized these new events and outreach tactics to grow our club by more than 20 new members at the start of the fall 2023 semester. Show less
