Geovanny Rivas spent his summer being the lead math instructor for the DaVinci Camp Summer Institute
Published:
Our very own Geovanny was busy this summer at UC-Berkeley and Caltech being the lead math instructor for the DaVinci Camp Summer Institute, which is a summer program that seamlessly integrates social and academic components from the arts and applied sciences. Designed to develop the interests and abilities of talented and highly motivated middle school and high school students (rising 6th – 12th grades, including graduating seniors), while in session, students learn the skills necessary to understand complex math expressions and to reduce them to their fundamental parts. They learn techniques that transform them into faster, more confident problem solvers. Congratulations, Geo!
Luke Cerda spent summer at SpaceX interning with the launch pad engineering team
Published:
Our very own Luke was busy this summer at SpaceX interning with the Launch Pad Engineering team in Cape Canaveral at NASA Kennedy Space Center, working on various fluids engineering projects to maintain and improve ground support equipment to support launches of the Falcon 9 rocket, which recently surpassed 500 successful launches in July 2025. Assigned to projects at both LC-39a and SLC-40, the most active launch pad in the world, seeing 23 launches in internship duration. He also worked alongside engineers and technicians and gained experience with launch engineering and fluids engineering pertaining to launch infrastructure.. Congratulations, Luke! We are proud of you!

CSULB Scientific Computing Workshop Empowers STEM Students!
Published:
Our research group proudly hosted the 2025 Scientific Computing Workshop, supported by the California Space Grant Consortium (CASGC). Held over two sessions in April, the workshop introduced undergraduate and graduate students to essential skills in Python programming, Git version control, Linux systems, and high-performance computing (HPC). Led by Dr. Ehsan Madadi and a team of student instructors, the event fostered hands-on learning in scientific computing and data-intensive programming. This initiative reflects our ongoing commitment to broadening access to computational tools that power innovation in engineering and beyond.
