About Neil McHenry
Currently, I am a VR Software Engineer at the NASA Johnson Space Center. At Texas A&M my specific focus is on Virtual Reality-Enhanced Space Robotics, Machine Learning/Data Visualization, and Attitude Dynamics. Additionally, I\'m involved in the development of an open-source software platform named \"Space Teams PRO\", a collaborative online Virtual Reality (VR) space mission simulation sandbox. I recently graduated with an M. Eng in Aerospace Engineering in 2016 and a B.S. in Electrical Engineering with a minor in Physics, also from Texas A&M in May 2015. I\'m very passionate about space exploration, and hope to one day help mankind become a multi-planetary species. I enjoy working with and designing hobby electronics as well as learning as much as I can about the world around me, both scientifically and culturally.
