Armaan Kamat is a sophomore majoring in Aerospace Engineering at The University of Michigan, Ann Arbor. At LATTICE, his prior work includes conducting a comprehensive review of the impact of COVID-19 on air traffic control and management, as well as modeling and analyzing aircraft taxi patterns of Southwest Airlines flight during periods of disruption. Most recently, Armaan is involved in a project developing a fleet assignment model for hybrid-electric commercial aircraft.
Armaan is particularly interested in commercial aviation and airline operations. Through his experience as a Consulting Intern at AeroDynamic Advisory, he has gained an understanding of the aerospace supply chain and industry dynamics, which he hopes to bring as a unique perspective to his projects.
Outside of research, Armaan is also the Aerodynamics Lead at M-Fly and is a Private Pilot. He also enjoys solving Rubik's cubes and watching Formula 1 racing.
