Summary
Ethan Monarski is a multidisciplinary engineer combining mechanical design and emerging optoelectronics expertise, currently pursuing a master’s in electrical and electronics engineering while serving as a graduate research assistant at Colorado State University’s L-ALEPH. He designs and validates precision optomechanical components—using SolidWorks, FEA, modal testing, and CNC machining on a Haas VF8—for an upgraded laser facility in partnership with Marvel Fusion. His background in mechanical engineering and hands-on manufacturing is complemented by coding skills in Python and MATLAB, enabling rapid iteration from CAD to physical prototype and test. With 11 years of practical experience across research, energy audits, and club leadership, he brings both technical depth and proven project coordination to multidisciplinary teams. Notably, he has translated academic design into real-world mirror mounts validated by modal testing, a tangible step toward fusion-enabled power systems. Based in Erie, Colorado, he balances competitive athletics roots with an engineer’s focus on scalable, high-precision solutions.
