Biography

Abraham Atte is a PhD student in the Guggenheim School of Aerospace Engineering at Georgia Tech. He received a B.S. from the University of Kansas in 2020 and an M.S. from Georgia Tech in 2022, both in Aerospace Engineering. His research focuses on multirotor aerodynamic interactions.

In his free time, he enjoys working out, watching movies, experiencing the outdoors, and hanging out with friends.

Research

Abraham is working on the experimental investigation of multirotor aerodynamic interactions in different flight conditions. Specifically, he is examining the effects of these interactions on the performance metrics of the individual rotors and of the overall vehicle using Georgia Tech’s John J. Harper Wind Tunnel. Some of the parameters of interest include the configuration of the rotors (including dual and quad rotors), spacing between rotors, flight in confined spaces (including ground, wall, and ceiling effects), and flight in urban and unsteady environments.
