Icarus Liquid Bipropellant Rocket

Icarus is a liquid bipropellant rocket that I've worked on as part of the Boston University Rocket Propulsion Group. It produces 2,500 pounds of thrust and stands at over 16 feet tall. I've worked quite a bit on this, and I'm very proud of it.

Rotating Detonation Rocket Engine

As an intern at Physical Sciences, Inc, I worked on a few types of Rotating Detonation Engines (RDEs). This includes air-breathing rotating detonation combusters and rotating detonation rocket engines (RDREs)

Horizontal Rocket Engine Test Stand

On the Boston University Rocket Propulsion Group, I worked with a small team to design, build, operate, and test the large Horizontal Test Stand, which is capable of firing engines with up to 10,000 pounds of thrust.

Small Hybrid Rocket Engine

In high school I decided to build my own hybrid rocket engine in my driverway. I designed, built, and tested every component of the engine itself, as well as my own firing and data acquisition computer utilizing an arduino.

ME360 - Electromechanical Design

ME360 is a class at Boston University I am a student of. It consists of two major projects, a cart and an 2.5 degree of freedom motion system.
