Meet Justin
MS + BS in Aerospace Engineering with a special focus on hypersonics and space environments. Currently supporting multiple aerospace and defense programs in environmental test with Lockheed Martin Space.
I am a serious contributer who loves connecting wither others and is committed to helping my teams win.
Examples of Work
Astrodynamics
I love astrodynamics, and I have advanced (graduate) coursework experience with orbital mechanics. Here are some of my Cal Poly projects: CLICK HERE to see some examples
Space Environments and Thermal Control
My master’s thesis (read it here) focused on the silicone to silicate conversion threshold for outgassed deposits on spacecraft surfaces in LEO. Learn more here. CLICK HERE to learn more
Hypersonic Reentry
During my undergraduate career, I co-authored a paper and presented my research all over the country. The research presents a novel hypersonic reentry high-altitude infrared observation platform. CLICK HERE to see what I’ve contributed to this field
