About Us
Kristen is a senior in Mechanical Engineering with a minor in Aerospace. Through co-op experience she has had the opportunity to work at NASA Johnson Space Center in the Education department and the Propulsion and Power Systems department. In her free time she likes to work on art projects and bakes really delicious cookies. She is currently being trained as a test director and her skills will be vital to writing about test plans and hazards associated with the activity. She also will be the main point of contact for all outreach activities.
Troy is currently pursuing a degree in mechanical engineering at Wentworth Institute of Technology. During his co-op, Troy has worked on designing and coordinating large scale plumbing systems. When Troy is not busy cheering for his favorite Boston sports teams, he spends most of his time with his dog named Riley. Through both college and co-op experiences, Troy has gained engineering skills in computer aided design and problem solving which will be important for the Micro-g NExT challenge.
Jake is a mechanical engineering student at Wentworth Institute of Technology. He spends his free time skiing the mountains of New England, and is one of the founding members of the Wentworth Ski and Snowboard club. Throughout his Co-op experience, he has worked in composite manufacturing, underwater robotics, and on nuclear powered submarines. Both his college and co-op experience has led him to become proficient in a number of different engineering skill areas including CAD, design for manufacturability, computer aided manufacturing, and problem troubleshooting. His skills will be vital in the design and manufacturing of the microgravity regolith extractor.
Joshua Mortin is a Senior Mechanical Engineering Student with a double minor in Manufacturing Engineering and Aerospace Engineering at Wentworth Institute of Technology in Boston. He grew up in Framingham Massachusetts and has always had a love for Boston. In his free time, you will either see him working on his Volkswagen Camper van, Kiteboarding or scuba diving. Joshua has experience in CAD design of customized knee replacements, process improvement for the manufacturing of jet engine parts, and quality inspection of incoming parts for vivo imaging and liquid handling devices.
