As a second-year Mechanical Engineering student at Brown University, I am passionate about the intersection of spacecraft hardware and navigation. My interests lie in the fascinating realms of compact objects, particularly black holes and pulsars. I had the opportunity to write and present a case study on X-ray pulsar navigation, focusing on NASA’s SEXTANT mission. Currently, I am applying my skills in a practical setting by working on racing simulation for Brown Formula Racing, following my journey from car enthusiast to space explorer.
