B.S. in Aerospace Engineering (2023) – University of Maryland
Liam McCue is a graduate student in the Department of Aerospace Engineering at Texas A&M University. Liam graduated from the University of Maryland College Park with a Bachelor of Science in Aerospace Engineering and a minor in Business. He was involved with the Collective Dynamics and Control Laboratory (CDCL) at UMD under Dr. Derek Paley working on actuators for electric micro-mobility. Liam has also worked at NAWCAD as a propulsion and subsystems flight test engineering intern for rotorcraft platforms. Liam currently supports the NASA Slat Gap Filler project which aims to study morphing aerostructures for noise reduction. His work focuses on designing and building a NASA CRM wing with shapeset SMA for wind tunnel experimentation.
