Matthew Gozum

Goal-oriented aerospace engineering student with experience in modeling and experimental testing and prototyping settings. Forward-thinking when reviewing project requirements to determine precise solutions. Composed professional when working under tight deadlines and limited budgets to meet and exceed design objectives.

Senior Design Project:

• Directed structural engineering team in designing and constructing the launch and test structure for a hybrid rocket, in addition to overseeing scheduling, technical meetings, and requirement determination.
• Developed engineering models to ensure structural integrity for all rocket operations and validated through testing.
• Utilized 3D modeling for design visualization and technical documentation.
• Integrated structural components with other teams and subsystems for seamless operation.

Satellite Constellation:

• Designed a satellite constellation consisting of 120 satellites in 4 Earth orbits, ensuring continuous coverage for all cities.
• Engineered constellation to eliminate coverage blackouts, maintaining uninterrupted line of sight to every city.
• Recognized for excellence with "Best Constellation Design" award in lab section of 50+ students.

Quad Rotor Flight and Stability Modelling and Analysis

• Developed and executed feedback control system for quad rotor to ensure steady hover post-disturbance.
• Enabled quad rotor to autonomously correct and maintain stable hover in both simulation and experimentation.
