I am Cole R Armstrong and I study Astronomy and Astrophysics and focus on Instrumentation, currently on space hardware in particular. I work in the RISE program under Dr. James Tutt and Dr. Randy McEntaffer and in a sibling lab HEADI lab under Dr. Abraham Falcone where I work on the design of the CubeSat BlackCAT. I also TA for the observation Astronomy courses offered here at Penn State. Outside of work and school, I mentor first and second year students in Penn State and also enjoy video games and watching docu-series.
