Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolAaron Vandenenden is an aerospace engineering graduate student and teaching assistant specializing in spacecraft robotics, with nine years of hands-on experience designing and leading CubeSat and rover projects at Carleton University. He has managed multi-disciplinary teams through full lifecycle satellite development—mechanical, electrical, ADCS, power, and communications—and built COTS-focused prototypes that reached flight-integration stages for sounding rocket missions. His background spans academic research and applied testing, including structural dynamics and vehicle stability work at the National Research Council, plus proposal writing and lab integration. Comfortable across hardware, embedded software, and web/security interests from his GitHub persona, he pairs practical maker skills (hobby electronics, PCB stacks, deployable solar panels) with mentorship and community volunteering. Notably, he combines competition-proven systems engineering with an appetite for computer vision–enabled attitude determination, reflecting both rigorous academic training and creative, build-first problem solving.
