At BU he serves on the structures team of the student-led Rocket Propulsion Group (BURPG), helping to design and build the group’s next liquid-bipropellant rocket. As a Lutchen Distinguished Summer Research Fellow, he developed physics-informed deep learning methods to predict the behavior of complex dynamic systems. He has internship experience developing spaceflight hardware at ABL Space Systems, for the RS1 orbital launch vehicle, and at Inversion Space, for a reusable reentry vehicle. Liam’s interests include deep space exploration systems, design optimization, and human factors. Outside of STEM, Liam enjoys playing piano, learning about history, and serving as president of the BU Irish Association.
