Madison Hetlage

PhD Student, Aerospace Engineering Department, NSTGRO Fellow
mhetlage@tamu.edu

Madison (Maddie) Hetlage received her Bachelors degree in Aerospace Engineering from Notre Dame and was the recipient of the Sigma Gamma Tau National Undergraduate Award in 2018. Since joining LDPDL, Maddie has been investigating a new technique for rapid atmospheric profiling of humidity, temperature, and velocity using LIght Detection And Ranging (LIDAR). The new approach is based on an optically pumped barium vapor filter for filtering of Rayleigh backscattered light. Through a combination of experiment and modeling, this technique is being developed for future applications to airborne supersonic LIDAR, air-data and ground test. In 2020, Maddie received the NASA Space Technology Graduate Research Opportunities Fellowship.
