Riley Pack is a graduate student in Electrical Engineering 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 RocketSats 2 and 3, RockOn! Workshop, and the Hermes CubeSat project. For the past year, Riley has focused on the ALL-STAR project designing and implementing the command and data handling and software systems for the satellite. 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 students who exhibit 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 either move to an industry job in electrical engineering or to a PhD program. Eventually, he would like to become a university professor because he love teaching people and helping people learn. Outside of Space Grant, Riley enjoys winter activities such as skiing, and also enjoys playing racquetball. |
