Developed, constructed, and operated Atlas Dev 2, USC LPL's cryogenic bipropellant test stand capable of a combined 26 lb/s mass flow at a max expected operating pressure (MEOP) of 1500 psig.

Designed an unlike-impinging doublet injector for USC LPL's kerosene/LOx engine, with the requirement that all components be manufacturable using 4-axis machining. Began with engine's designed parameters (chamber pressure, O/F ratio, propellant mass flow) and used fluid mechanics to calculate for or...

Designed and successfully fired a slit-type, field emission EP thruster using gallium as a novel propellant. Demonstrated throttleability with a maximum thrust of 80 μN at 8000 seconds specific impulse and 12.55 W power draw.
