Sarah K. Burrows

PhD Student

Major: Aerospace Engineering

I am originally from Virginia Beach, Virginia and earned my undergraduate degree in Aeronautical Engineering from Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute. I joined APRG as an NDSEG fellow in the Fall of 2023. My current research interest includes electric propulsion (EP) with applications to space vehicles. My goal as I continue my involvement in this lab is to develop a better understanding of these EP systems such that I can make new contributions to APRG’s novel bimodal nuclear thermal and electric thruster design to enable fast transit to Mars.
