My name is Raj Gohil, and I am currently a 4x NASA Pathways Engineering Intern at the Johnson Space Center in Houston, Texas. I am also currently pursuing a B.S. in Mechanical Engineering as a Senior at the University of Houston. I have a lot of engineering project experience in the aerospace field including building heat shields for rockets, talking to satellites and the ISS in space via HAM radio avionics, and helping invent new space technology at NASA! Looking forward to a career in Human Spaceflight Systems Engineering post-graduation.
