Andrew Hinkle, a Ph.D. student in aerospace engineering at Missouri S&T, is part of a select group of graduate students across the U.S. to receive a NASA Space Technology Research Fellowship (NSTRF). Through the award, Hinkle plans to help advance the agency’s understanding of how particle flows such as Martian dust storms could affect spacecraft landings.
Dr. Serhat Hosder, professor of aerospace engineering and director of the Aerospace Simulations Laboratory at Missouri S&T, is Hinkle’s advisor.
