The Structures team lead, Josh Robinson is a junior in Aerospace Engineering. This is his second year working with S3FL. Last year he worked on the telemetry subsystem for CanSat team Victor V.
Ali Doan is a sophomore in Mechanical Engineering. While she was not on the team last year, she researched the use of piezoelectrics for the use of NanoFET through the UROP program.
Michael Harrison is a freshman planning on majoring in Biomedical Engineering. He was on robotics in high school.
Shane Moore is a senior in aerospace engineering. The C-9 project interests him because he gets to help design and build things out of raw materials and potentially test them in near-space conditions! He also plays drum on the Michigan Drumline.
Michael Ramirez is a Junior in Aerospace Engineering, and is from Austin, Texas. He joined Team ZESTT because he thought the thruster sounded really interesting, and he wanted to get involved in using his engineering skills outside of the classroom. He can juggle, throw playing cards very long distances, do a handstand, do a very good elephant impression, and he's from TEXAS!!!
Huy Nguyen is a sophomore in the Aerospace Engineering program. If he could, he would play tennis and sing forever. Interestingly, he sings spotaneously anywhere at anytime with anyone.
