I'm a recent graduate of the University at Buffalo, where I recently completed my Master's Degree in Aerospace Engineering as well as obtaining my Bachelor's in Mechanical Engineering, graduating Magna Cum Lauda with High Distinction. There, I focused my education in Dynamics and Control Systems and conducted research spanning various topics like spacecraft orbit and attitude estimation, radar signal processing, trajectory optimization, and simulation of complex space dynamics. I've taken extensive coursework in these areas, as well as foundational topics they use such as calculus, differential equations, and physics.
Beyond my individual research efforts at UB, I served for two years as a lead Guidance, Navigation and Control (GNC) Engineer for the school's nano-satellite laboratory, where my duties included onboarding and teaching undergraduates various GNC-related topics. I also regularly conducted engineering workshops introducing undergraduates to trade-studies and technical decision-making processes. My teaching methodology is through an interactive approach that centers around developing confidence in students, as this confidence is what motivates students to pursue learning. Often, I would utilize a mix of lecturing/introducing the core topics, then implementing them in an interactive activity. These lab experiences opened my eyes to the world of teaching and helped me discover a newfound passion for teaching and sharing my skills with others.
