I’m an aerospace engineer with over 10 years of industry and research experience in structural dynamics analysis, aeroelastic analysis, design optimization, and dynamics testing. As a contractor, I work directly with customer organizations to develop structural and aerodynamic models, implement comprehensive analysis, carry out ground and flight tests, and document work for certification. I’ve been honored to receive five customer awards for individual and team achievements. While earning my Ph.D., I developed state-of-the-art aeroelastic analysis and structural optimization techniques. My academic and industry work has been published in peer-reviewed journals. Prior to graduate school, I worked on preliminary airframe design at Cessna, and developed propeller analysis software at AVID LLC. I understand that being an effective contractor requires more than technical excellence; success requires building functional relationships with customers. I enjoy integrating with customers’ teams, getting to know their people, and learning about their engineering processes. Feel free to connect if you are interested in collaborating.
