Experience

1. Project Engineer

   SKYRE, Inc.

   Jun 2021 — Present

   Primary engineering coordinator for $2.6MM NASA Lunar Propellant Production Plant contract We are supporting lunar in-situ resource utilization objectives as part of the Artemis Moon to Mars exploration campaign. Ice near the lunar poles will be electrolyzed into hydrogen and oxygen. These constituent gases will be compressed, liquefied, and stored- to support lunar operations and provide rocket propellant for deep space exploration. In collaboration with our partners at Eta Space, we are creating a terrestrial demonstration of an electrolysis, compression, and liquefaction system to advance this technology to TRL 5. We aim to create a closed loop system whereby cryogenic boil off is recompressed for reliquefaction yielding zero resource loss-Develop project plans; communicate cross-functionally with various engineers, technicians, and subcontractors to facilitate progress, develop status reports and assist in resource allocation -Worked closely with our process engineer to implement a configuration management (CM) system-Primary sponsor for a UConn senior design group; mentor and provide guidance to college students as they fulfill research objectives aimed at improving the performance of SKYRE’s carbon capture and storage (CCS) technology.
