MEMBER HIGHLIGHT

We here at Micro-AV would like to thank Matthew for his contributions; here’s a word from our featured member:  

“Hello, my name is Matthew Moscola, an Electrical Engineer and Navy veteran who has had the unique opportunity to work with Micro-AV since 2019. As general manager I lead our team of bright talented volunteers in multiple projects such as PCB fabrication, Fleet maintenance and updating, as well as computer vision and control systems. During my time with Micro-AV I helped the team procure our first official patent and have since pursued a new career with the United States Patent and Trademark Office. The challenges I’ve faced and the people I’ve met along that way have helped shape not only Micro-AV, but myself as well. I believe that Micro-AV and its work can change how we view our place in the environment, moving people not just vehicles”.
