NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL), Pasadena, CA
Graduate Research Intern – Engineering and Science Directorate (ESD)
Advisor: Dara Sabahi
Project: Engineering and Science Directorate (ESD) Chief Engineer's Engineering Self-Assessment
• Organized a series of focus group interview sessions with early-career and junior engineers to capture
feedback on ways to enhance the overall status of JPL's engineering capability
• Recorded feedback from each interview session and categorized data into themes based on likeness to earlier
data, and assigned priority to themes based on the frequency that a particular topic emerged in a session
• Presented findings to the ESD and proposed an assessment program that could improve the retention of JPL’s
early career engineers

TECHNICAL PROJECTS
Georgia Institute of Technology, Atlanta, GA
Mobile and Ubiquitous Computing (CS7470)
Project: TIM: Transportation InfoMetrics for Mobile Devices
• The goal of this project was to make the cost per trip of transportation visible and evaluate how making this
information accessible affects awareness, behavior, and decision making about transportation options
• Developed an Android application that calculates and stores driving data (distance driven, estimated miles per
gallon, and estimated total cost of ownership) via a Bluetooth enabled OBD Diagnostic Interface
(Spring 2014)
Georgia Institute of Technology, Atlanta, GA
Prototyping Interactive Systems (CS6452)
Project: typeLOUDER!: An Online Instant Messaging Application
