Welcome to Mizzou SURF
Students’ Underwater Robotics Foundation is an engineering student organization that strives to implement the knowledge of engineering courses to real life projects. Mizzou SURF designs and manufactures marine robotic projects. SURF is a competition team with an element of robotic research. We are currently hard at work preparing for the 2022 RoboSub competition at the University of Maryland, College Park!Meet the Team:
Co-President
"Hello! My name is Nathan Crum, and I am a recent May 2022 graduate of Mizzou's Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering programs. I am fascinated by the development of aerospace vehicle control systems, and more recently have become an avid fan of the intersection between autonomous systems and aerospace vehicles. In my free time I enjoy exploring Columbia by bike and playing board games with friends!"
