Alan Luo Email & Phone Number

I received my PhD in mechanical engineering from the Georgia Institute of Technology, where I researched structural vibration attenuation using analogous piezoelectric networks. I designed, built, and analyzed analogous electrical networks of circular symmetric structures to attenuate vibrations. My research is published in 3 peer reviewed journals, which can be found in the publication section of my profile. Additionally, I served as a graduate teaching assistant for six years during my academic journey, which has provided me with extensive experience in teaching and effective communication.At Sandia National Laboratories, I spent 3 years working in computational mechanics. I conducted reliability testing on structural analysis software, developed analytical methods for modeling piezoelectric structures, and performed structural analyses on large assembly parts. As an associate at the Institute for Defense Analysis, I led the development of the modernization of shock and vibration tools, resulting in a more user-friendly and intuitive graphical interface. In addition to my technical background, I also hold an MBA from Georgia Tech with a focus on supply chain and operations management. I have leveraged this knowledge in my consulting experiences with companies like UPS, Rimgard, and Global Growers Network. I've been involved in crafting marketing strategies, developing strategic visions, and analyzing evolving economic landscapes to drive business success.
