RISD Rover designs and fabricates an extraterrestrial vehicle that adheres to NASA’s Human Exploration Rover Challenge guidelines. In 2024, we placed 5th out of roughly 150 international college teams. We were the lightest rover at 94 pounds, earning the “Featherweight Award”.

I joined this team in 2021 and managed the project from 2023 to 2025. I designed and fabricated carbon fiber composite subsystems, including our chassis and seats, with a focus on lightweight structures.
