Utsav is a PhD student in the School of Aeronautics and Astronautics at Purdue. His research relates to modeling the process of rocket/aerospace spray combustion using different mathematical and computational techniques. One of the things that motivate him to pursue his research is the associated complexity in physics and math. Spray is formed by a very complex phenomenon and to understand its motion along with mixing and combustion has been one of the major challenges in this as well as the last century. Other than sitting all day and coding on the computer, Utsav likes to travel and do outdoor activities. He has been a professional soccer player and likes mountaineering activities such as climbing and paragliding.

Dominik is a graduate student in the School of Aeronautics and Astronautics at Purdue. In Fall 2016 he came to the U.S. with a B.Sc. degree from the University of Stuttgart, Germany, and graduated in May 2018 with a M.Sc. from Purdue. He then started his Ph.D. in Fall 2018. In his research he is exploring the possibilities to use machine learning algorithms for turbulent flow modeling. He works at the Computational Fluid Dynamics And Heat Transfer laboratory of Professor Shih at the Purdue Technology Center. In his recreational time, he spends time at the Purdue Judo Club and serves as a board member of the Purdue Fulbright Association.

Julio A Hernandez is an AAE Ph.D. pre-candidate in structures and materials engineering. His area of research pertains to advancing conductivity-based structural health monitoring technologies for space applications. In this regards, he investigates the piezoresistive response of nanofiller-modified composites to transient high-strain rate events. He plans to graduate in 2021 and enter into a research career in NASA.

Hi! My name is Jannuel Cabrera and I am currently a PhD student with the Space Flight Projects Laboratory in AAE. When I am not wrestling with MATLAB or with my research, I can be spotted running, tossing a baseball with friends, and playing music.

Hi! I am a graduate student in the School of Aeronautics and Astronautics at Purdue. My major is in control systems and I am part of the Flight Dynamics and Control/Hybrid Systems Lab. My research lies in the intersection of machine learning and swarm intelligence. I am also exploring the application of game theory to swarms. In my free time I like to read books or unwind while playing pool or bowling.

Hello everyone, I am Paul and I am a fourth year PhD student under the advisement of Dr. Carolin Frueh. I am mostly seen loitering in the second floor of ARMS. I am from the north-eastern state of Assam in India, and my favorite past time includes playing badminton, ukulele (dilettante) and social drinking (only beer and wine). I also like to try out new and weird food, like to dance (famously bad moves), and read Quora. When I feel lazy or demotivated, I binge-watch Netflix shows for days at a stretch.
