Nicholas Dagnino

I'm Nick, a mechanical and aerospace engineering student at UGA pushing the boundaries of an up-and-coming engineering program. I am passionate about the work I do and aim to build an understanding from first principles. Whether it's testing propulsion systems for fun, building research satellites, or designing high-speed aerial vehicles, I am always down for a challenge. Check out some more of my work.

What keeps me busy

Space Systems • SSRL

Small Satellite Research Laboratory

Contributing to the Small Satellite Research Lab (SSRL) at UGA, focused on the mechanical integration and structural analysis of CubeSat platforms. My work involves ensuring mission-critical hardware survives the rigors of launch and the vacuum of space.

Propulsion • UGA Rocketry

UGA Rocketry Team

Leading design efforts for experimental high-power rocketry. I focus on hybrid propulsion modeling and aerodynamic stabilization, pushing the capabilities of UGA’s student-led aerospace initiatives through iterative flight testing and CAD optimization.
