Bio

Hey, my name is Mitch Fogelson. I earned my PhD at CMU, working with NASA on the design, simulation, and optimization of kilometer-scale deployable space structures. I have published in the top robotics and aerospace conferences and journals, and recieved the Editor Choice Best Paper Award from ASME JMD 2023. Beyond Reach Labs is building space megastructures to be deployed from a single rocket launch, accelerating new space capabilities.
