Engineering at the crossroads of space & the atom.
Aerospace engineer at the Georgia Institute of Technology — electric propulsion researcher, fusion intern, and B.S./M.S. student
I recently earned my B.S. in aerospace engineering with a minor in nuclear & radiological engineering at Georgia Tech, where I am continuing as a combined B.S./M.S. honors student pursuing my master's in aerospace engineering. This summer, I am a Fusion Intern at Realta Fusion, analyzing neutral beam injection diagnostic data for magnetic mirror fusion systems. In the long term, I am interested in the development and commercialization of nuclear power in the space domain.
My research background centers on electric propulsion, and I have been fortunate to work in three different EP labs in three different countries: Georgia Tech's High-Power Electric Propulsion Laboratory, UC3M's Equipo de Propulsión Espacial y Plasmas in Madrid, and the Asher Space Research Institute's Electric Propulsion Lab at the Technion in Haifa. That work has ranged from designing and manufacturing in-house plasma diagnostics to characterizing low-power Hall thruster operation on molecular propellants — a project I presented at the 2025 International Electric Propulsion Conference in London.
Outside the lab, I have developed a strong understanding of the financial and start-up ecosystems. As an investment banking summer analyst at Allen & Company, I worked on live M&A deals across biopharma and SaaS verticals — deepening my understanding of the economic realities deep-tech startups face, a perspective not many pure engineers possess. I also led financial operations for my fraternity for two years, incorporating it as a nonprofit, and serve on the executive board of Chabad at Georgia Tech.
