Hit the apogee
Hold to open the airbrakes. Stop the rocket at exactly 10,000 ft.

Mechatronics Engineering, University of Waterloo
I build instruments, controllers and machines that move liquid, light and the occasional rocket.
Press and hold anywhere to grow a fluid flower. It’s what I study.

I build hardware that moves fluids, light and rockets, and the control systems that keep it all in line.
I study Mechatronics Engineering at the University of Waterloo, and right now I’m a Research Fellow in Joanna Aizenberg’s lab (opens in new tab) at Harvard SEAS, where I make liquid-filled windows that tune sunlight and heat, and grow fluid flowers between sheets of glass.
Before that I rebuilt a gravity-drop plunger at Cornell that freezes protein crystals within 10 ms of mixing, prototyped a car ball joint at Musashi that senses its own wear, and led the controls team behind the canards and airbrakes on Waterloo Rocketry’s liquid-fuelled rockets.
When a lab is missing a tool, I usually end up building it.

Beat the plunger
My crystallography plunger quenches in under 10 ms. Your turn.
