Students in the Spotlight

Mission to Space

Doctoral student Kristofer Drozd is working in SIE’s Space Systems Engineering Laboratory on software responsible for operating the spacecraft circumnavigating Bennu. NASA’s OSIRIS-REx project is the United States’ first attempt at returning an asteroid sample to Earth.

The opportunity to work on a NASA-funded mission while obtaining a graduate degree seemed too good to be true. I am part of a mission that will directly enhance our knowledge of the solar system – all while still being in school.

Officer in Charge of Operations

Lt. Col. Matthew Dabkowski’s analytics procedures in model-based systems engineering, cost estimation and network science are changing how the U.S. Army does business. The director of the Operations Research Center at the U.S. Military Academy, West Point, balanced his PhD studies with deployments to Iraq and Djibouti.

My battlefield experience has made me more comfortable with uncertainty. And that has made me a better problem solver and a better researcher.

Transportation Commendation

Christopher Utter, who earned his master’s degree in 2012, works as a research engineer and data scientist at Modular Mining Systems. He and classmate Paul Hoffer won the Best Research Paper award at the Intelligent Transportation Society of America Arizona chapter’s 18th annual conference.

Getting to present our work was a great experience for both of us. To see that what we have done is valued in the real world – and draws the interest of professionals in this field – is very rewarding.

To Bennu and Back

Daniel Wibben, who spent his undergraduate and graduate years as a member of the team planning the OSIRIS-REx asteroid mission, is working for an Arizona-based company to help steer the spacecraft to the asteroid Bennu and back.

Once we get to Bennu, we're going to be ready, agile and on our toes for whatever Bennu throws at us.
