Kameron Eves

Kameron Eves is a Ph.D. student in the aerospace engineering department. He graduated from Brigham Young University (BYU) with a B.S. degree in mechanical engineering. He also received minors in mathematics and business. At BYU, Kameron worked in the Multiple Agent Intelligent Coordination and Control (MAGICC) laboratory. At the VSCL, Kameron fills a variety of roles. He spent two years designing, building, and testing a 50 lb multirotor unmanned air vehicle (UAV) for the army to use in autonomous reconnaissance. Kameron was responsible for the software, embedded systems, and dynamic analysis of this UAV. Kameron’s dissertation topic is Adaptive Control for Multiple Time Scale Systems with specific application to hypersonic aircraft. Kameron’s research interests are theoretical and computational dynamics and control of aerospace systems. Additionally, he is interested in engineering teaching methods in higher education. Professionally, he plans to join academia and teach at a university.

Christian Flewelling

Christian Flewelling is a class of 2026 Engineering major studying Mechatronics. He joined VSCL in the Fall of 2023, working on embedded systems for the Unmanned Ground Vehicle (UGV) project. Outside of the VSCL, Christian is an officer for the Texas A&M University Robotics Team and Leadership Experience robotics club.

Adam Glaesmann

aglaesmann00@tamu.edu

Adam Glaesmann is a Senior pursuing a Bachelor’s of Science in Aerospace Engineering and has been an active member of VSCL since the Spring of 2023. His current work with VSCL is in creating a graphical user interface (GUI) for communicating with a flight vehicle from a ground station computer. He enjoys working with computer systems and the exposure to the types of problem solving that working in the lab brings, which is not typically seen in the classroom. In his free time likes to go rock climbing.

Bella Grayson

Bella Grayson is a sophomore Aerospace Engineering student from Washington. Bella’s interest in aerospace engineering sparks from her fathers involvement in the US Air Force as a pilot. As a member of VSCL she has analyzed wind tunnel data for the RMRC Anaconda, a fixed wing sUAS platform used on the System Identification and Target Tracking projects. She is excited to get more involved with flight testing on the CAAMS and KAMS projects.

Leron Gundlur

Leron Gundlur is currently pursuing a Bachelor of Science in Aerospace Engineering with Engineering Honors. He is also minoring in Mathematics. Leron attended VSCL staff meetings throughout the Fall ‘23 semester and joined VSCL as an Undergraduate Researcher from Spring ‘24. He has been deeply passionate about aviation from a young age and is an avid flight simulation enthusiast. Leron is actively researching nonlinear multiple time scale control theory for applications related to aerospace vehicles. Leron plans to pursue a Master of Science in Aerospace Engineering after finishing his Bachelor degree in December 2025. Post-graduation he is interested in working on air and space systems and further exploration of the Solar System and Milky Way.

Garrett Jares

Garrett Jares is a Ph.D. student in the Department of Aerospace Engineering at Texas A&M University, a 2020 NSF Graduate Research Fellow, and a Graduate Research Assistant in the Vehicle Systems & Control Laboratory. Garrett earned his B.S. degree in Computer Science from Texas A&M University with minors in Cybersecurity and Mathematics, graduating Magna Cum Laude in 2017. He has been working in the Vehicle Systems & Control Laboratory (VSCL) with his advisor, Dr. John Valasek, since his undergraduate senior capstone project in 2017. During his undergraduate education, Garrett studied extensively in cybersecurity including research in cryptography topics. Garrett’s work with VSCL has involved developing embedded systems for Unmanned Air Systems (UAS), conducting UAS flight testing operations, and overseeing the operation of the Engineering Flight Simulator Laboratory. Garrett is combining his undergraduate knowledge in Computer Science with his experience gained in Aerospace Engineering to investigate Cybersecurity for air and space vehicles.

Garrett’s doctoral dissertation investigates cyber-attacks that are designed to take control of an aircraft by targeting the vehicle’s sensor data. This research will help identify and better understand the vulnerabilities in current systems and develop safeguards against such attacks. Garrett is a recipient of the 2020 NSF Graduate Research Fellowship, the Crawford & Hattie Jackson Foundation Scholarship, the Edward C. Clay ’47 Memorial Scholarship, and the 2018 Lechner Graduate Fellowship.

Seth Johnson

Seth Johnson is a sophomore pursuing a Bachelor of Science in Aerospace Engineering with minors in Mathematics and Computer Science. He is expected to graduate in December 2025 and has been an active member of VSCL since Spring 2022. He has worked on various projects throughout VSCL including the Center for Autonomous Air Mobility and Sensing, Cycle of Learning, and Robust Threat Detection. Seth interned with VectorNav Technologies during the Summer of 2023. His interests are in flight test engineering, flight control system, embedded systems, and navigation engineering.
