About Derek Geiger

I am a master’s student in Aerospace Engineering at NC State University, conducting research in the Lightweight Active Structures Lab. I’ve been pursuing a research path focused on the use of thin-ply composite booms for extraterrestrial surface structures. My work aims to develop analytical methods for modeling truss lattice structures as equivalent continua, enabling more computationally efficient design tools for future space applications.
