Led development and deployment of three Space-bourne optical instruments used in the University’s CubeSats (small satellites) as Research Fellow in the ARC Industrial Transformation Training Centre for CubeSats, UAVs, and Their Applications (CUAVA)
Delivered custom photonic sensors across three industry-funded R&D projects addressing real-world needs in agriculture, space, and defence (combined value > $200K AUD).
Identified suppliers and led contract negotiations for key procurements in the $1.9M TOLIMAN Space Telescope mission, securing both the telescope and spacecraft platform.
Managed technical reporting and hardware/software deliveries for two DSTG R&D contracts (> $600K AUD), supporting basic research and STaR Shots initiatives.
