Daniel Cordova

I am an aerospace engineering graduate student at USC, driven by the process of turning ideas into tested, high-performance hardware. My engineering philosophy centers on learning through data, building fast, and refining with precision.

I’ve applied this mindset through projects spanning liquid rocket turbomachinery, additively manufactured airframes, and aerodynamic and compressible-flow systems. I’m passionate about space technology, propulsion, and sustainable innovation, and I strive to contribute to teams where creativity and disciplined engineering intersect
