Sidney is a Ph.D. student in the J. Mike Walker ’66 Department of Mechanical Engineering at Texas A&M University who began in Fall ’22. He graduated with a Dual B.S. in Physics and Mathematics from Tarleton State University (TSU). While attending TSU, his research focus was on Ion Beam analysis and various types of mathematical modeling in physics and disease modeling. His current research focuses on performing and modeling hypervelocity impacts on aerospace composite materials. In addition, his work focuses on developing other high-rate diagnostics for measuring impulse delivered to targets, debris and ejecta cloud characterization, and determining the equation of state for various materials.
