OUR FAVORITE GRADUATES❕❕
This year, three of our beloved engineers have graduated and are on to some out of this world opportunities.
Meet the grads:
Jivitesh hails from the other side of the world, and earned a degree in Electrical Engineering with a focus on RF and Microwave. At HAB, he mostly worked on a payload called the Mechanical Altitude Propagation to experiment with the speed of sound. He said he should mention that he’s an audiophile. Jiv also worked on the Video Payload aiming to livestream the total solar eclipse, which sadly did not work since the radios were out of reach 🥲. After graduation, he’s on the way to graduate school to pursue a Ph.D. in electromagnetic acoustic MEMS. His favorite memory at HAB is trekking through the desert in Roswell to retrieve the flight string along with a wild herd of deer.
Holly just graduated with a degree in Aerospace Engineering!! She was a flight director for our eclipse launch, but also worked on a payload and as a systems engineer during her time on HAB. She also worked with our Eclipse Soundscapes recorder that gathered sound data during the eclipse (MIKE). After graduation she will be heading to work at MITRE Corporation in Colorado Springs, Colorado. Hollys favorite experience was watching the total eclipse with everyone (and the entertaining car ride to Missouri in Brad the van🚗💨)!
Corrie just graduated with a degree in Aerospace engineering, with a specialization in Space engineering🪐! At HAB, she worked on numerous jobs including organization, planning, and the NEBP Video Payload (our professional debugger). After graduation she will be heading to an internship at NASA Goddard!! Corrie isn’t sure what her plan is after, but is excited for her future! Her favorite memory at HAB was having a two hour debate with Brian about the nature of consciousness during a car ride!
We are extremely proud of our graduates. You all have, and will continue to achieve incredible things. The HAB team wishes you the best of luck 🫶
