Tashi Atruktsang

I am an undergraduate student at the University of Wisconsin-Madison studying Engineering Mechanics and Aeronautics. I was raised in a Tibetan refugee camp in India for the initial part of my life. I then moved to Madison, Wisconsin and have lived here ever since. I was introduced to engineering and rocketry during high school when I joined the Madison West High School Rocket Club. In my time there I place 5th in Nationals, 1st in Nationals and 2nd in Internationals. At the University of Wisconsin-Madison, I founded the Badger Lunar Mining Team and I also helped create a rocketry organization. I am currently the President of the AIAA/ SEDS UW-Madison Chapter, and President of the Robotics team on campus.
