Christopher
Griffis is a spring 2008 recipient of the Master of Software
Engineering degree at Embry-Riddle
Aeronautical University.
Chris
grew up in Northern New Jersey, briefly lived in Manhattan,
and eventually moved to Boston to pursue his
undergraduate degree at Tufts
University. At Tufts he
completed both a major in Mathematics and a major in Electrical Engineering,
receiving his Bachelor of Science degree in 2006. Later, as a graduate
student at Embry-Riddle, on multiple occasions Chris
has demonstrated strong leadership capabilities, finding great success
leading various team-oriented projects throughout the MSE program. Since
January of 2006, Chris
has also been working with Professor Timothy Wilson on assorted research
projects related to Unmanned Autonomous Aircraft Systems, including the
investigation of databus architectures for UAS applications, a UAS propulsion
systems technology survey for the FAA, and a UAS propulsion systems
regulatory gap and risk analysis for the FAA. Some of his research efforts
have been published in the proceedings of the 2008 IEEE Aerospace conference,
and last year he was nominated as the FAA/Centers of Excellence “Outstanding
Student of the Year” for Embry-Riddle
Aeronautical University.
On April 23rd, 2008, he was exclusively awarded recognition as the
“Outstanding Academic Graduate Student” from the Embry-Riddle Department of
Computer and Software Engineering. During the summer of 2007, Chris
was a software engineering intern at the Boeing Company in Everett, WA,
working on Software Configuration Management tools for the 787 project.
During his internship, his efforts on the 787 Project earned him three
different achievement awards: one for his software efforts, one for his User
Guide efforts, and one for his volunteer work on Solid-Oxide Fuel Cell
characteristic testing. As a result of his Embry-Riddle education, leadership
abilities, and experiences, Christopher
has received five different full-time offers for a Software Engineering
Position from respected companies such as: The Insitu Group near Portland, Lockheed-Martin in Orlando,
General Atomics in San Diego, The Boeing
Company in Los Angeles, and Rockwell Collins
in Melbourne, FL. In June of 2008, Christopher
will begin his new career as a Software Engineer with The Insitu Group, designing, developing, and testing
flight control software for Unmanned Autonomous Aircraft Systems. Chris
is a member of Mensa and was also recently inducted to the UPE Computing
honor society. Outside of work and school, Christopher
is a high-energy and gregarious person who loves a good laugh; he is an
accomplished pianist and DJ, and an avid Texas Hold ‘em Poker player.
