I am Michael Kruger, a postdoctoral reacher currently working in the Dryden low speed wind tunnel at the University of Southern California (USC).

I graduated with my PhD in aerospace engineering at USC in December 2021, where my research focused on the computational modeling of aircraft systems that use electrical propulsion, under the guidance of Professor Alejandra Uranga.

Where my PhD work was computational in nature, my current work is experimental, allowing me to be hands-on with various tasks, from fabricating models to setting up hardware-software interfaces and data acquisition pipelines.
