 Riley Pack is a senior in Electrical and Computer Engineering and Applied Mathematics at the University of Colorado at Boulder. By taking the Gateway to Space class his freshman year, Riley became involved with a variety of projects at Space Grant including RocketSat 2, 3, and the conceptualization of 4. The past two years, Riley has focused on the CubeSat project, with designing, implementing and testing the software system for the satellite. Riley has also continued to work with RockOn throughout his college career. Recently, Riley was awarded one of the coveted Astronaut Scholarship Foundation awards for 2009-10. The award is given to the top engineering and science student who exhibits motivation, imagination, and exceptional performance. It is the highest monetary award for engineering based solely on merit. In the future he plans to finish school at CU and move to an industry job in electrical engineering for approximately ten years before returning to school for a Ph.D. He would like to become a university professor because he loves teaching and helping people learn. Outside of Space Grant, Riley enjoys winter activities such as skiing, and also enjoys racquetball. |
