Nathan Bernard Bonney
Mechanical Engineering at Miami University
From Naperville, IL
I will be graduating in May 2025 with a Bachelor of Science in Mechanical Engineering from Miami University of Ohio. Through my time in college, I have had the incredible opportunity to serve as Secretary, Vice President, and now President of the American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics Miami University Chapter (AIAA MU), as well as the captain of the Miami University Rocket Propulsion Lab (MURPL). These leadership roles, as well as my coursework, which has focused on manufacturing and system controls engineering, have given me a strong foundation on which to build my career as an engineer.
Rockets and space travel - I've been fascinated with rockets since I was about 14 and ever since I've gravitated towards projects and hobbies which are aerospace related.Â
3D printing - I have been 3D printing for about 5 years and I frequently use it for prototyping in my projects
Music - Since I was young, I've always had a wide range of music interests. Some of my favorite genres are neoclassical, rap, hip-hop, classic rock, 90's rock, and funk. I also collect vinyls and I love any physical form of music media.
Video Games - When I need to unwind or want to connect with my friends, video games have always been a great way for me to do that. Some of my favorites of all time are Dishonored, The Long Dark, and Astroneer.
