Projects

Spacecraft Preliminary Design DRRoP Project (August 2022 - Present)

Spacecraft Preliminary Design exposes senior undergraduates to the conceptual and preliminary design of a system. At the end of the semester, we will have a design ready for manufacturing in the spring semester. For this project, we are focusing on the NASA FLOATing DRAGON challenge.

Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) Neural Network Research Project (January 2022 - Present)

The beam vibration research project is an ongoing research project with Dr. Yabin Liao. The goal of this research project is to create a model for the prediction of vibrations in an airplane wing via a LSTM model. So far, I have worked on creating a small rectangular and airplane wing model in ANSYS and running some basic displacement tests in ANSYS. Additionally, I have worked on the implementation of a LSTM model in Tensorflow as well as delved into improving our current LSTM model in Matlab by researching various machine learning parameters. I am currently further researching LSTM models for future while we wait for the parts that I drafted to be machined.

Website (Summer 2020 - Present)

This website has been in development for the past year or so. This is an ongoing project that will be constantly in development for the foreseeable future.
