The CDI Lab is pleased to welcome two new students, Ghanendra Das and Patrick Kelley, both of whom will join the group as master’s students this fall.

Ghanendra joins us from Safran Aerospace India, where he worked as a repair, design and stress engineer focusing on aircraft landing gear.  Prior to this, he attended The Nitte Meenakshi Institute of Technology in Bangalore, India, where he completed his bachelor’s degree in aeronautical engineering in 2017.  Ghanendra’s research will focus on aerostructural design of hybrid electric aircraft.

Patrick joins us from Lake Superior State University, where he completed his bachelor’s degree in mechanical engineering in May, 2019.  Patrick’s research will investigate computational synthesis of structures and mechanisms for space applications.

We look forward to working with them, and we wish them both the best of luck!
