B.S. in Aerospace Engineering (2025) – Texas A&M University

Walker is a Senior Aerospace Engineering Student from Frisco, TX. To date, his work has spanned reduced-order structural modeling, adaptive radiator experimentation, and active rotor blade wind tunnel testing. Currently, his research is on the development of software to optimize morphing small UAS and creating a low-cost wind tunnel system to study free-flight maneuvers. Outside of the lab, he is the Advanced Class Chief Engineer for the SAE AERO Design Team developing autonomous aerial systems.

Current Research Project(s):

  • Software for Parallelized Analysis, Reconfigurations, and Rapid Optimization (SPARRO)
  • Free-Flight Aerodynamic Laboratory for Characterization Of Nimble Systems (FALCONS)

Previous Research Project(s):
