PhD Thesis (2024 - Current), “Advancing Plasma-based CO2 Conversion with Solid Oxide Membrane Separation” - Investigating and developing a prototype plasma reactor with integrated with Solid Oxide Membranes for Oxygen separation and and targeting improved reactor performance.

NASA Kennedy Space Center, Visiting Technologist (Summer 2025) - Conducted experimental test campaign for plasma-based CO2 conversion and hydrogenation and supported various plasma-based chemical conversion projects.

CERBERUZ, NASA LunaRecycle Challenge (2024 - Current) - Phase 1 Winner of competition based on proposal for recycling and manufacturing ecosystem for long-duration lunar missions that converts non-metabolic waste—including plastics, foam, and metals—into composite materials and standard parts using injection molding, extrusion, casting, and regolith molds.

NASA Kennedy Space Center, Visiting Technologist (Summer 2024) - Utilized chemical diagnostic suite to test and develop an NRP-DBD plasma reactor prototype and contribute to ongoing efforts in developing a plasma catalytic reactor for spacecraft atmospheric revitalization under a NASA Space Act Agreement.

MIT Masters Thesis (2022-2024), “Plasma-based CO2 Conversion for Mars ISRU” - Developed a 0D chemical kinetic model that predicts the performance of a plasma CO2 conversion reactor for Mars in-situ resource utilization, where particular emphasis is placed on informing future designs with flight readiness criteria in mind.

MARTEMIS — NASA RASC-AL (2023-2024) - Lead System Architect for a scalable, cost-effective multi-mission architecture enabling long-duration human missions on the Moon, designed as high-fidelity analogs to reduce risk for future Mars exploration.

PALE RED DOT — NASA RASC-AL (2022-2023) - A 10-year, two-village Mars mission for 32 crew members relies on bioregenerative life support, local food production, and in-situ manufacturing. Contributions included evaluating chemical conversion technologies for life support and industry, and designing life-support components manufacturable on Mars.

Senior Thesis (2022) -  Determining conditions and allowed values of scattering lengths for having bound states in a universe with arbitrary dimensions using a shape-independent regularized pseudopotential for two cold atoms in a harmonic trap.

CU Boulder Research Experience for Undergraduates (2021) - Investigated electrostatic dust charging, caused by incident, low-density, non-thermal plasma, at variable pressures using plasma diagnostics, in order to simulate dust effects on airless planetary bodies and explore semiconductor manufacturing applications.

Tulsa Undergraduate Research Challenge (2019) - Investigated the material properties of perovskite CsSnI3 for solar cell applications.
