Christopher Rehberg

Welcome, I am a 2^nd year graduate aerospace engineering student working on the future of space structures and space material designs. Currently, I am researching the buckling response of composite deployable booms for solar sails, and have been fortunate enough to have this research funded through a master’s fellowship.

Through the Structures and Materials Design Lab, at the University of Central Florida, I have been able to research time-dependent material, Prony series, deployable space structures, and thin-ply composite materials for space applications.

While an undergraduate researcher I completed my honors undergraduate thesis in the interconversion of linear viscoelastic materials and created libraries in Python and MATLAB to go with my thesis. Both libraries can be found on my GitHub account, or in the projects section.

Before I started on my aerospace engineering journey, I attended Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University where I earned my private’s pilot license and an instrument addon, graduated with my bachelor’s in aeronautics, and a minor in air traffic management.
