      For this position, I am the design lead for the pressure maintenance system needed to maintain the pressure in an inflatable kite for high altitude flights (5000m+ above sea level). I also assist the team with large-scale kite design, kite dynamics and modeling, designing experiments to determine material properties of inflatable structures and data acquisition systems.
