02 Add Stabilization System Photos Suggested: rocket assembly, CAD base, electronics, and test setup.

PROJECT 02 · MAE 334

Model Rocket Active Stabilization System

Developed an active stabilization system using an Arduino, MPU6050 sensor, and servo-controlled fins. A proportional feedback controller used real-time motion data to command opposing fin movement, while a custom 3D-printed base packaged the electronics.

About Me

I'm a Mechanical Engineering student at the University at Buffalo, graduating in 2027. I enjoy turning engineering concepts into functional systems through CAD, prototyping, analysis, and hands-on testing.

My project experience spans robotics, vehicle design, control systems, and iterative mechanical development. I enjoy working on teams where ideas move from early concepts to designs that can be built, tested, and improved.
