PhD in Aerospace Engineering with research interests in fluid dynamics, acoustics, heat transfer, and high-speed gas dynamics. Extensive knowledge in sonic boom research and nonlinear atmospheric acoustics.
■ NASA University Leadership Initiative ■ Performed research as part of a multidisciplinary team on the underlying physics of sonic boom phenomena to investigate the feasibility of civil supersonic transportation ■ Developed a state-of-the-art sonic boom prediction code to assist in the design process of low-boom supersonic aircraft ■ Applied supersonic flow theory and optimization techniques to assess the feasibility of a morphing aircraft concept for reducing sonic boom loudness
■ Instructed a class of ~60 senior level undergraduate students on viscous flows and heat transfer for a full semester and developed examination questions
■ Performed state-of-the-art sonic boom validation comparisons to NASA flight test measurements
■ Generated metrics and executive level reports as part of the spares team ■ Improved on-time delivery through communication with the spares team and buyers
