Wilson Harper

I’m Wilson, an electrical engineering student at Rice University fascinated by rockets, radars, and avionics.

At Rice, I serve as the Mission Control lead for Rice Eclipse’s liquid rocket engine program. With Eclipse, I’ve also designed an active fin stabilization system and other custom avionics. Previously, I interned at RTX BBN Technologies in Cambridge, Massachusetts, and I also engineered compact, directional wind systems for immersive environments in Rice’s Experimental Pixels Lab.

My open-source NFC business card was featured on Hackaday, Adafruit, and Hacker News. In high school, I investigated synthetic aperture radar and its applications at the MIT Lincoln Laboratory. I also built a UAV and competed with it nationally.

Feel free to check out more of my projects, my resume, or contact me below. I’d love to chat about aerospace, Rice, or anything else!
