About

Hunter Adams received a B.A. in physics from Cornell in 2015, an M.S. in aerospace engineering from Cornell in 2017, and a PhD. in aerospace engineering from Cornell in 2020. Adams’ Ph.D. was almost entirely devoted to hardware—specifically to building small spacecraft and the infrastructure for communicating with them. While building these spacecraft, he fell in love with electronics prototyping. Adams joined the Cornell ECE faculty in July 2020 where he now teaches laboratory design courses based on microcontrollers and FPGA’s. He also advises the Maker Club, a few project teams, and a large number of masters of engineering projects. Adams likes to use engineering as the mechanism by which he explores his interests in lots of other topics and disciplines. He and his students have collabo
