Aditya Kothari
Masters Student in Aeronautics and Astronautics, admitted Autumn 2025
BioAditya is an MS Aero/Astro student at Stanford. He works at the intersection of flight sciences and controls and has a background in vehicle systems engineering, aerodynamics, propulsions, structures and new product development. He led his university UAV team as the Captain and spearheaded the development and testing of over seven award winning UAVs including eVTOLs, eSTOLs, eCTOLs and other projects. Many of his past projects involve industry collaboration like those with GKN Aerospace, AIRBUS, Honeywell Aerospace and Forbes Marshall. He was also associated with ASME-VIT as the Chief Editor for ASME Technical Blogs and a member of the AIAA and the Rotaract NGO.
Outside of work he likes to hike and loves to play badminton and other racquet sports. -
Ilan Kroo
Thomas V. Jones Professor in the School of Engineering
BioProfessor Kroo's research involves work in three general areas: multidisciplinary optimization and aircraft synthesis, unconventional aircraft, and low-speed aerodynamics. Current research in the field of aircraft synthesis, sponsored by NASA and industry, includes the development of a new computational architecture for aircraft design, and its integration with numerical optimization. Studies of unconventional configurations employ rapid turnaround analysis methods in the design of efficient subsonic and supersonic commercial aircraft. Recent research has included investigation of configurations such as joined wings, oblique wings, and tailless aircraft. Nonlinear low-speed aerodynamics studies have focused on vortex wake roll-up, refined computation of induced drag, the design of wing tips, and the aerodynamics of maneuvering aircraft.
