Space - the final frontier
I have always been interested in Space. Between watching TV shows like Star Trek and Star Wars and thinking about the vastness of space. I loved studying physics to learn about the laws of nature around us, wholly inspired by my curiosity about space. I have had the good luck to engage this passion over the years, both on a personal level and a professional level. The space applications of nanotechnology is still an academic and research pursuit I am eager to follow.

International Space University
Throughout the summer of 2006 I participated in the Summer Session Program (ssp’06) of the International Space University (ISU). It was an enriching experience filled with and overwhelming amount of learning opportunities. Since then I have enjoyed the opportunity to catch up with Alumni at some of the annual Alumni events.

Galactic Suite Space Hotel
As a junior consultant engineer I contributed to the designs for the Galactic Suite Space Hotel project. It was truly an interdisciplinary project, led by terrestrial architects with a vision to create a unique and inspiring space hotel experience.
