Samuel Roth

Samuel Roth is an Aerospace Engineering student at Syracuse University with interests in avionics, aerodynamics, and engineering management. He serves as Secretary of the American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics (AIAA) and Head of Design Projects for the Orange Rocketry and Ballistics Team (ORBiT) at his university. Through coursework, Samuel has conducted wind tunnel testing to measure aerodynamic forces and flow behavior, gaining hands-on experience with data acquisition, uncertainty analysis, and experimental validation. He has also completed finite element analyses involving steady-state thermal, structural, and modal simulations of a forced-air CPU cooling system, evaluating temperature distribution, stress, deformation, safety factors, and vibration risks under rotational loading. Drawing from research comparing MATLAB and Blender for physics-based modeling, Samuel combines technical fundamentals with problem-solving and leadership to contribute to the aerospace field.
