About Me
Samuel C. Glenn King
I am an Aerospace Engineering student at the University of Colorado Boulder with minors in Computer Science and Engineering Management. My academic experience spans fluid mechanics, thermodynamics, vehicle dynamics, controls, and computational modeling, with emphasis on first-principles analysis and system-level performance evaluation.
I apply conservation laws, dynamic system modeling, and numerical methods to analyze aerospace systems operating under coupled mechanical and thermal constraints. My work includes rigid-body dynamics simulation, compressible flow analysis, heat transfer modeling, uncertainty quantification, and performance trade studies using MATLAB and structured computational workflows in C++, Python, and Java.
With a background in mechanical systems restoration and hands-on fabrication, I integrate analytical rigor with practical implementation. I am particularly interested in applying modeling, propulsion analysis, thermodynamic system evaluation, and guidance and control principles to mission-critical aerospace and defense systems where performance margins and reliability are paramount.
