In-vacuum Interchangeable Annealing Sample Stub — Part two of the deposition-chamber build: a removable sample stub carrying its own heater and thermocouple that anneals silicon to 1000 °C and still interchanges under vacuum through the hub chamber's transfer arm.
Multi-Source Metal Deposition System — Designed, built, and qualified a three-material evaporation chamber with a rotating source-selection stage and an actively cooled quartz crystal monitor, feeding an existing hub chamber through in-vacuum interchangeable sample stubs.
Poseidon: Competition Rocket Composite Airframe — Co-led airframe for the team's competition vehicle, fabricating the upper composite structure by wet layup and building the sub-team that produced it.
Filament Winding Machine and Toolpath Generator — Rebuilt an open-source filament winder from salvaged 3D printer hardware and wrote a toolpath generator that extended it to arbitrary axisymmetric mandrels, enabling wound nosecones rather than tubes alone.
