Liam O'Mara Email & Phone Number

I've just finished studying Aerospace Engineering with a focus in Astronautics and a minor in Business at ASU. In obtaining this degree, I've gotten a good amount of hands-on experience in various lab settings - most namely from my time volunteering for the Star-Planet Activity Research CubeSat, where I was able to directly work on preparing, assembling, and testing spaceflight hardware in an ISO-5 cleanroom. I also gained experience in designing and testing other products through ASU's Spaceworks set of elective courses, where a set of student teams were tasked with creating various contraptions set to accomplish different goals (e.g. infrared cameras in vacuum, landing modules w/parachutes). Complementing these experiences, I've also acquired some skills in soldering outside of my formal education.
