Barkley and Hersey Receive L-3 Graduate ScholarshipsGraduate students Brett Barkley and Sean Hersey received L-3 Graduate Scholarships for the 2015-2016 school year.
He completed his undergraduate career in 2015, receiving degrees in Aerospace Engineering from the University of Maryland and Engineering Physics from Elon University. His interests include adaptive control, system identification and simulation.
Hersey is now a graduate research assistant under the advisement of Professor Roberto Celi, and he will be obtaining his master’s degree this December. From there he aims to continue on to his Ph.D. His research includes the optimization and study of the advanced rotorcraft configurations for the Future Vertical Lift and Joint Multi-Role military helicopter programs. Currently, his research focuses on the extraction of linear dynamic inflow models from Free-vortex wakes models so that the controllability of these advanced configurations can be assessed. The L-3 Scholarship not only provides for a generous stipend, but also opportunities for recipients to engage with experts from L-3 who are working in their field.
