Space Propulsion

The Space Propulsion Lab within our department offers an exceptional opportunity for students to gain hands-on experience in propulsion technologies and hypersonic aerodynamics. Our primary objective is to enhance the educational aspect of our M.S. and Ph.D. programs, providing students with practical exposure and a global perspective on engineering projects. We achieve this by actively participating in diverse research endeavors, ranging from simulations tailored to address current industry challenges to employing multidisciplinary approaches that allow us to forecast the future landscape of the industry.

With each passing semester, we expand our capabilities by structuring our research program around key areas such as solid propulsion diagnostics, the impact of rocket exhaust in atmospheric conditions, and ablative thrusters. As a dynamic and ambitious team we continuously strive for excellence and innovation. We enthusiastically welcome collaboration opportunities and invite you to join us on our journey.
