Matthew Ostrow is a Senior in Aerospace Engineering, with a focus in Astronautics, at University of Maryland, College Park, MD. He previously obtained his A.S. in Physics at Northampton Community College in Tannersville, PA. There, he was a member of the Phi Theta Kappa Honor Society, the SMaRT Scholars program, and was a Physics, Math, and Chemistry tutor in The Monroe Campus Learning Center. Matt is currently the president of UMD's Hyperloop Pod Competition team, UMDLoop. Prior to this, he served as the Frame lead during Competition 2, where he utilized teamwork, communication, and engineering skills to build and design an aluminum torsion box that provided fully internal housing for subsystems, while being able to withstand expected loading conditions and provide mounting points for other subsystems. Matt also created CAD models, drawings, and renderings in a research role for the UMD-based startup company Airgility. In 2018, Matthew participated in a year-long internship at SpaceX as a CAD Systems Intern where he managed a MIL and Aerospace specification defined 3D model Reuse Library within Siemens NX/Teamcenter, provided direct support for engineering for Modeling, Assemblies, Drafting, and Routing applications within the CAD system, and performed as squad lead for a company-wide upgrade to a new version of the CAD software. The following summer, he returned to SpaceX as a Launch Engineering Intern, where he designed, analyzed, and tested non-flight components used to improve production rates of the launch vehicle and also for testing functionality of mission specific hardware.
Listed skills include Mathematics, Engineering, Problem Solving, Teamwork, and 13 others.
