Jay is a Scholar at the Center for Outreach, Research, and Engagement, where he was introduced to academic research. After that, he completely immersed himself in learning and innovating in research. As an undergraduate scholar, his interest in rockets from his elementary school has now escalated to pursuing cutting-edge aerospace research, with expertise in propulsion. By joining MIT Summer Research, he plans to obtain practical research skills that will help advance his career in aerospace research. Jay plans to pursue a PhD in non-chemical propulsion systems, such as electric propulsion, to deepen his understanding of the design, operation, and integration of space propulsion systems. He is prepared to bring his devotion and preparedness to learn to the summer research. To contribute to the community, he serves as the finance director of the Student Government Association and Treasurer of the Clarkston Computing and Engineering Club. He is also involved in the GSU Rocket Tech Club to obtain hands-on experience in rocketry. Apart from academics, Jay loves cycling and adventurous hiking in the wilderness.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":5393,"template":"","profile_category":[25],"class_list":["post-5031","profiles","type-profiles","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","profile_category-2026-interns"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/oge.mit.edu\/msrp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/profiles\/5031","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/oge.mit.edu\/msrp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/profiles"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/oge.mit.edu\/msrp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/profiles"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/oge.mit.edu\/msrp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/profiles\/5031\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":5078,"href":"https:\/\/oge.mit.edu\/msrp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/profiles\/5031\/revisions\/5078"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/oge.mit.edu\/msrp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/5393"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/oge.mit.edu\/msrp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=5031"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"profile_category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/oge.mit.edu\/msrp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/profile_category?post=5031"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
