Lab Scale, Segmented Telescope Mirror

Space Telescope Science Institute (STScI) - Russell B. Makidon Optics Lab
Johns Hopkins University - Mechanical Engineering Senior Design
​

Preliminary research is needed to determine the necessary precision for observations of Earth-like exoplanets with the LUVOIR space telescope concept. This mirror design is intended to assist in that optics research. Each segment of the mirror is actuated in 6 degrees of freedom using PCBs and Arduino commands. This was an undergraduate senior design capstone project with a team of three students, along with sponsors at STScI and guidance from Johns Hopkins University professors. ​

Remote Controlled Planes

I enjoy building and flying RC planes. I became interested as a member and leaders of a Design, Build, Fly Team at Johns Hopkins University. The American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics (AIAA) organizes an annual intercollegiate and international competition for designing and building remote controlled (RC) airplanes each year.
