Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolIan Bennett is a PhD candidate and electromagnetic engineer with eight years of hands-on experience designing RF and satellite systems for small spacecraft, including principal RF and software engineering on the CanX-7 ADS-B receiver. Based in Toronto, he has progressed from undergraduate research at Purdue to research associate roles at the University of Toronto’s Space Flight Laboratory and now doctoral research in electromagnetics. He founded Crash Cube to codify practical CubeSat know-how for student teams, showing an interest in knowledge sharing and community impact beyond academia. Known for combining rigorous academic results (high GPAs across MASc and PhD work) with practical subsystems experience, he bridges theory and flight-ready implementation. An uncommon strength is his cross-disciplinary fluency across RF hardware, satellite power systems, and embedded software, enabling end-to-end payload development.
