Samuel Rustan
Project Role: Project Manager
Major: Elelctrical Engineering

Bio:
      I'm a senior EE, who has focused on power and energy engineering, but also communications and signal processing. I'm involved with academic research being done in the Dept. of Chemistry under the supervision of Prof. Harry Kroto. I'm currently doing a directed independent study at the Geophysical Fluid Dynamics Institute under the supervision of Dr. Kevin Speer. I'm also an electronics hobbyist, avid Arduino and Raspberry Pi user and "maker" as well as musician.

Yasmin Belhaj

Maxwell Sandler
Project Role: Fundraising
Major: Mechanical Engineering

Bio:
      My name is Maxwell Sandler and I am senior in Mechanical Engineering at Florida State University. I have very strong interests in anything automotive, aerospace, or energy related. My goal is to attend graduate school and expand my knowledge towards aerodynamics. One of my ideal dream jobs would be to work for a Formula1 team and design some of the most technologically advanced machines anyone has ever seen.
