Christopher Kling is a听fifth-year senior and is planning on graduatin
g in May. He grew up in Craig, 蜜糖直播 and his interests include activities in the听outdoors such as camping, motorcycling听and playing with his dogs.
Kling's passion for engineering started as a small child building planes and cars out of Legos. Currently, he is听working in the Precision Laser Diagnostics Lab where he is helping build a wildfire wind tunnel. The wind tunnel is one-of-a-kind, can tilt to different angles and allows wildfires to be studied under听controlled conditions. This will hopefully save the lives of wildland firefighters by helping to predict where and how fast a fire will spread.
Kling is midway through his last year as an undergraduate who is听excited to graduate and work in industry. He hopes to go into the aerospace industry, a lifelong aspiration. Kling听enjoys studying thermo and fluid mechanics and is also considering going to graduate school for thermo-fluid dynamics.
