MIT - Key Persons
I graduated UofM in 2021 with B.S. in Mechanical Engineering and Electrical Engineering with an emphasis on mechatronic design, control, and signal processing. I am currently working on developing high-acceleration permanent magnet actuators for semiconductor fabrication applications.
Prior to my graduate studies at MIT, I completed bachelor's degrees at The College of Idaho (2019) and Columbia University (2021) where I studied math, physics, computer science and mechanical engineering. At the PMCL, I'm researching the application of classical feedback control, machine design, and electromagnetics to the design of a novel attitude control system for small satellites. In my free time, I enjoy rock climbing, photography, reading, and spending time outdoors.
I graduated from Texas A&M University where I received my B.S. in Mechanical Engineering and a minor in Electrical Engineering. My research interests include controls, dynamics, and mechanical design. I am currently working on developing actuators to enable higher accelerations and increased throughput in semiconductor lithography tools. In my free time, I enjoy spending time outdoors running and rock climbing.
Job Titles:
- Master of Science 2008 / Design and Analysis of a Monolithic Flexure Atomic Force Microscope
Job Titles:
- Master of Science and Ph. D 2021
I am from Puerto Rico and received my B.S. in Mechanical Engineering from the United States Military Academy in 2013. I'm pursuing a Master of Science in Mechanical Engineering with the Precision Motion Control Lab (PMCL) at MIT. I'm working with Professor David Trumper on analyzing potential induction based solutions for implementation into existing satellite attitude control devices.
I am working in the area of bearingless motors which involves active levitation control in required degrees of freedom along with motor operation. I am interested in permanent magnet levitated motor with a slice rotor for pumps application. It allows to pump the fluid without contamination as there is no contact with bearing or shaft. It also allows to achieve high speeds.

I am from Los Angeles, California and received my B.S. in Mechanical Engineering from Caltech in 2021. I'm pursuing my graduate studies in Mechanical Engineering with the Laser Interferometer Gravitational Wave Observatory (LIGO) at MIT. I'm working with Prof. David Trumper and Prof. Matthew Evans on improving the suspensions in LIGO. My current research interest lies in lowering the cross-coupling in LIGO's suspensions in an effort to make the system more sensitive to gravitational waves.
