My name is Ethan Stephens, and I am a first-year sophomore at Kennesaw State University. My world revolves around aerospace, cars, and robotics. My latest project was developing a different type of 3-stage solid-state ionic wind thruster with the objective to increase thrust generated by reducing the thruster’s internal operating pressure. I have also designed and built an electric go-kart. Projects like these have made me familiar with using a variety of industry-grade software from Autodesk and Adobe to design and analyze potential solutions.Aside from my endeavors in STEM, I also spend my weekends analyzing market conditions and monitoring the performance of my portfolio. I have the largest exposure to index funds and companies in the energy and technology sectors. I have 4 years of experience with investing, and I am always looking for ways to improve my understanding of various market indicators and company fundamentals.
