Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolSabrina Khan is a planetary scientist and aerospace engineer pursuing a PhD at Johns Hopkins with eight years of hands-on experience across mission design, orbital dynamics, and in-situ planetary technologies. Trained at MIT in Aerospace Engineering and Earth, Atmospheric & Planetary Sciences, she has contributed to instrument control software for large telescopes and analyzed Curiosity rover data at JPL. Her internships span testbed engineering for Mars 2020 payloads, thruster performance tools at a propulsion startup, and science policy work at the American Geophysical Union, demonstrating breadth from hardware debugging to data-driven classification. She combines rigorous modeling and coding skills (Python, MATLAB, GUI development) with field-relevant lab and testbed experience, uniquely positioning her at the science-engineering interface. Notably, she has built searchable astronomical databases and instrument consoles that bridge observational needs with operational control. Sabrina aims to apply this mix of computational, experimental, and policy awareness to design and execute ambitious planetary missions.
