Master's Seminar Work
The Modular System Design of an Optical Satellite Payload
A MBSE approach to creating a modular optical satellite payload was carried out. The proposed design provides the mechanical support and flexibility for the transmitter and receiver modules of an optical payload with their accompanying processing unit.
Numerical Computations of Minimal Surfaces
The task at hand was to develop a generalized solver for finding minimal surfaces using an equidistant grid and arbitrary boundary conditions. This was done using C++ and Paraview to view the results.
Density Contrast in SPH Interfaces
Literary analysis of a paper presenting high density contrast interfaces with the standard Smooth Particle Hydrodynamics (SPH) approach. Addressing aspects of simulation performance, size, etc.
To Alpha Centauri and Beyond
A feasibility study was done to determine if the costs put forth pertaining to the required laser criteria for the proposed Breakthrough Starshot project are manageable.
