M Glimcher Aerospace

I’m a young aerospace engineer, New Yorker, and armature barebow archer.

I got my bachelors degree at Purdue University and am currently working on my masters thesis in aerospace composite materials at the Purdue Composites Manufacturing and Simulation Center (CMSC) under Dr. Dianyun Zhang.

I’m an armature barebow archer and safety officer with the Purdue Archery Club, and despite my slightly medieval shooting style, our one officer who’s a certified USA archery coach seems to think I’m pretty good for barebow. I also enjoy making bow strings and made them for most of the club bows.

I’m eclectic with a broad knowledge base and an ability to fit disparate pieces together, and I’ll design just about anything. My favorite projects are generally aerospace or naval architecture related. While I don’t claim to be the best engineer or the best strategist, I am reasonably good at both and an American, so I tend to sketch out a lot of military kit that I think could be done more cost effectively by doing the engineering and strategic design together. I’m also quite fond of looking to things people have tried in the past and seeing how modern technology might make them viable when they didn’t work before or how they might be solving the same problem I’m having now in a slightly different shape.

I’m also on BlueSky @mglimcher.bsky.social where I sometimes participate in OSINT discussions when I have something to add.
