Project Lead: Alex Angel
My Story
My name is Alex Angel, and I am a senior in Aerospace Engineering at SJSU. I am passionate about rockets and space, particularly in guidance and control. Besides rocketry, my hobbies include astrophotography, mountain biking, and skiing.
Since I was little, I’ve always loved launching my own rockets. With HARP, I am able to gain valuable experience and knowledge by working with a team of engineers to design and fabricate a vehicle capable of reaching high altitudes.
Lead Engineer: Ryan David
My Story
My name is Ryan and I am a senior in Aerospace Engineering. I am an Army Veteran who is transitioning into a new career. I have experience in MATLAB, Python, C++, Simulink and Simulations. In the future I plan to attend graduate school to explore courses and learn more about Guidance, Navigation and Control (GNC). My hobbies are playing golf, watching football and hockey games, and fantasy football.
Structures Lead: Cristopher Barillas
My Story
My name is Cristopher Barillas and am a senior in Aerospace Engineering. I am experienced in MATLAB, multiple CAD software and certifications on them as well. As such with this experience, I have even been able to design a part that will go to the moon in 2023. My goal as a student is to learned more about rocketry and apply that knowledge to the industry in the near future. Some of my hobbies include cooking, video games, and stargazing with my telescope into the vast unknown of space.
Avionics Lead: Anton Kulinich
My Story
I am a Masters student in the Aerospace Engineering program here at SJSU. Graduating from UCSB with a B.S in Physics I wanted to take physics foundations and apply it to an engineering discipline, specifically in propulsion and rocketry. I have experience in data analysis - mainly python, and industry experience doing electrical engineering. My goal is to learn more about rocket avionics. My hobbies include playing hockey, working on cars, skiing and fitness.
Recovery Lead: Eilbrone Poolis
My Story
My name is Eilbrone and I’m a junior majoring in Aerospace Engineering. I currently have experience in C, MATLAB, and various CAD software and I hope to utilize these tools with this project as well as build upon my foundations as a leader and coordinator. My goals for this project are to grow individually and to set up future teams for success. In terms of hobbies, I enjoy working on cars, playing video games, and cooking meals.
Simulation Lead: Luke Randhawa
My Story
My name is Luke and I’m a freshman in Aerospace Engineering. Some things I enjoy doing are playing music, games, reading and learning about cool stuff. A few things I want to do are finish school and hopefully go to grad school as well as work on cool projects, such as building rockets or robots.
