   NASA Goddard Space Flight Center

   STELLA Intern

   I worked on STELLA, a low-cost 3D-printed Earth-observation spectrometer. I designed a soil probe from scratch to measure raw signals and determine soil capacitance and temperature. I also attended the NASA Acres conference, where I spoke with NASA scientists and members of the farming community about how STELLA can help them and address challenges in remote sensing and agriculture.

   MIRAGE Lab

   Research Assistant

   I work on reinforcement learning and computer vision for in-situ defect detection in a Direct Ink Writing 3D printer that extrudes conductive gel. My work includes image classification and YOLO-based detection, with the goal of adjusting print parameters in real time to catch and correct defects as they happen.

   Stereolithography Technical Coordinator

   I handle the operation and maintenance of industry-standard resin printers. I also advise researchers and students on material selection and properties, helping them choose the resin that best suits their needs.
