Gabrielle - Virtual Communities Officer: I am currently in the first year of my Masters of Applied Science, Aerospace Engineering. I have a Bachelor of Engineering, Aerospace Engineering from right here at Carleton University, as well as a Bachelor of Science in Mathematics and Physics from USQ in Australia. My love of anything to do with Space is the challenge of the unknown. We still know very little about Space and, yet it has been the source of some of our greatest discoveries and innovations. The fact that something can be both incredibly complex and beautifully simplistic keeps the research exciting and interesting. In my spare time, I am the Systems lead of Carleton’s Blackbird UAV team (unmanned aerial vehicle). Our team designs and builds UAVs to accomplish goals set out by Unmanned Systems Canada for their annual national competition. The systems team in particular is responsible for all flight systems, payload systems, and ground control. As of now, I am still currently unsure of what I will do after graduation, but I am looking forward to finding out.
