Parham Khodadi - Aerospace Engineer

Guidance, Navigation & Control

I am pursuing my M.S. in Aerospace Engineering at the University of California, Los Angeles, currently researching robust control for spacecraft rendezvous in the GLACIER Lab under Professor Shahriar Talebi. I recently graduated with my B.S. in Aerospace Engineering (Physics minor) from San Diego State University.

Outside of research, I make engineering edutainment videos on SciPK, my YouTube channel, where I make explainers and builds aimed at anyone with a taste for tinkering. I travel often, and I love soccer and basketball. My teams are Manchester City and the Los Angeles Lakers.
