Michael Von Hendy Email & Phone Number

I hold a Master’s degree in Aerospace Engineering Sciences from the University of Colorado at Boulder, with focus areas in bioastronautics and astrodynamics. A passion for both human spaceflight systems and spacecraft navigation led me to pursue two certification programs, as I could not be satisfied with a single aspect of study when it comes to space. My knowledge of the engineering design process has a strong foundation deeply rooted in the courses I have taken at the University of Colorado, Boulder, including multiple project course sequences at both the undergraduate and graduate levels. Furthermore, emphasis in the study of human-factors in engineering gives me a unique, human-operations oriented perspective regarding the design and operations of aerospace systems. Finally, years of experience as both a team member and a leader demonstrate my ability to integrate into a team setting and cooperate with dynamic groups. On a personal note, my hobbies include a variety of activities. I particularly enjoy designing, and constructing vehicles and structures out of LEGOs—a task I never outgrew from the moment I was introduced to them at the age of five. Also, I enjoy woodworking. The exactness required by designing and crafting, and the sheer beauty of final products have always possessed a certain allure to me. I have played brass instruments for most of my life; although I played tuba through high school and on and off in college, I have played trombone consistently for 13 years. I am a team gamer and regularly attend and host social game nights with friends and students from my lab. Any excuse to be social and tackle challenges with teams of friends is golden by my standards. Finally, I enjoy a wide spectrum of sports and athletics, such as hiking, biking, running, volleyball, and racquet sports.

Listed skills include Aerospace, Microsoft Office, Matlab, Microsoft Excel, and 11 others.
