Thursday, August 6, 2026

Matthew Gordon (BASc '26, mechanical engineering) has made The Logic's annual list, which highlights the top innovators among graduating students across Canada.  

Matthew was introduced to space shuttles at a young age, and that interest carried him through his studies as he helped design, build, and launch the first Canadian liquid-fuelled rocket as part of the Waterloo Rocketry student design team. He's now taking his passion for space to his current position as propulsion engineer at SpaceX.
