PROFESSOR: MATTHEW GILPIN
DEPARTMENT: AEROSPACE ENGINEERING
Dr. Gilpin is a Senior Lecturer in the AME department where he teaches classes focused on laboratory skills. His research is on the development of novel diagnostics for emerging in-space propulsion technologies and he is currently working on high-speed flow measurements which apply common hemodynamic techniques to aerospace applications. As an undergrad at USC, Dr. Gilpin was on the first team of guides for SC Outfitters and is excited to continue exploring Southern California!
PEAK: MT. LOWE
DIFFICULTY: 3/5
SCENERY: Telescopes, a tunnel, and swings at the top make this quick day hike worth it!
