I’m Kilian, an undergraduate honors student at Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University, where I'm pursuing dual degrees in Aerospace Engineering and Engineering Physics. As if that weren’t enough, I’ve also declared minors in Applied Mathematics and CAD/CAM. This rigorous academic journey has shaped me into a well-rounded engineer, fostering a deep understanding of the engineering disciplines that intertwine to define my program. Complementing my studies, I've gained valuable industry experience through internships at NASA and Honeywell, along with research roles in the ERAU Space and Atmospheric Instrumentation Lab and the Carnegie Mellon Robotics Institute.

With graduation approaching this spring, I plan to continue my journey in research by pursuing a master’s program focused on mobile robotics in challenging environments. Whether it's exploring distant planets or navigating through dense crowds, I firmly believe that the most significant advancements in robotics stem from embracing diverse perspectives. That's why you'll often find me contributing to STEM outreach. Each experience always offers something new, and I find genuine joy in making challenging topics more accessible and exciting for those who may not have considered them before.

Outside of these experiences, I also enjoy playing soccer, 3D modeling, and making things with my hands.
