I spent a summer as a ride operator at Hersheypark, a regional amusement park. I worked on rides spanning from tiny merry-go-rounds to large roller coasters, sometimes alone, and sometimes in teams of up to 8 people. Over the three months, I gained a great deal of experience with teamwork, multitasking, and customer service.

Designing and testing a controller for active aerodynamic surfaces on a race car designed for competition against other schools. The system will add cornering and braking capability while reducing drag on straightaways.
Formula SAE Active Aero System
Programmed a small autonomous robot (using Python) in order to complete a variety of challenges. 

Notably, one of the challenges was to navigate a maze that had dots of various colors on the walls which guided the vehicle. The system had to use image processing and ultrasonic sensors to read the visual instructions and make the proper motions in order to escape the maze.

An additional challenge began by randomly placing the robot into a box of known dimensions. The bot was tasked with autonomously navigating to the center of the box in the least possible time. I noted that by rotating until the ultrasonic sensors picked up a corner and a nearby wall (perpendicular to the vehicle), the starting position could be quickly triangulated. Then, it could calculate the trajectory to the center and instantly roll to it.
GoPiGo Autonomous Robot
Designed and tested a 3D-printed dart, called a waverider, in a hypersonic wind tunnel (approx. Mach 6) with the goal of minimizing mass and maximizing Lift/Drag ratio. 

I was in charge of using MATLAB's image processing toolbox to write a program to collect position data from the test video footage. This data could then be used to determine the real performance of the waverider in the wind tunnel.
Hypersonic Waverider
Designed a digital model to conduct research on potential outcomes of an autonomous “scout” train to extend the vision of large trains with long braking distances. The simulation explored scout effectiveness with random obstacles and varying velocities.
First Year Innovation & Research Experience: Autonomous Unmanned Systems
Led a 9-person team to create an autonomous vehicle capable of navigating unknown terrain in order to locate and extinguish multiple fire sites before communicating mission success or failure. I wrote navigation and mission code (Arduino), modeled parts for 3D printing, assembled/soldered electronics, selected materials, and conducted testing to solve a large variety of hardware and software issues.
Ultimately, the vehicle won 1st place in the competition against 12 teams.
