INSTRUCTORS
George
George oversees your CAD training. Before this he was in the engineering support for various major aircraft carriers able to pinpoint the right nut and bolt for most flying machines including the ones you have flown in. His academic background lies in the field of aerospace engineering, with an acute interest in computer-aided engineering. He is a keen promoter of aerospace careers to young people and away from the noise of engines, you will find him enthusiastically concentrating on his Fender guitar.
Achilleas
Achilleas, a visionary scientist and curious engineer, is the author of your 3D printing knowledge. Previously he has worked at various universities’ and national labs as a researcher in the fields of materials nanotechnology. His research expanded into numerous topics including spacecraft engineering, materials development and advanced manufacturing. If you do not want to talk to him about technology and educations, you can discuss his interest of photography and cuisine.
