I am a recent M.S. Aerospace Engineering graduate from Cal Poly San Luis Obispo. I specialized in aeronautics during my undergraduate work (also at Cal Poly), culminating in a year-long team aircraft design project in which I was the aerodynamics and flight performance lead. I am currently developing the Open Source Toolkit for Reentry Object Modelling, a destructive reentry simulation program, to be used in university-level programs as a spacecraft design tool for estimating casualty risk during reentry (similar to NASA's DAS, and the forthcoming FOSTRAD program).
