Primary Areas of Interest and WorkResearch: 1. Aerospace Systems Design, Flight Vehicle and Aerodynamic Optimization

Investigations into optimum flight vehicles. Includes multidisciplinaryoptimization and aerodynamic optimization. Examples are aerodynamic-structural-propulsion system integration, minimization of drag forsupersonic/hypersonic cruise vehicles, and design of pressure distributionsto minimize viscous effects. Applications include morphing aircraft, blendedwing body configurations with distributed propulsion, HSCT design,including parallel computing, truss-braced wing concepts, formation and tip-docked aircraft systems, and investigation of aerospace systems to preventcatastrophic loss of ozone.Multidisciplinary Analysis and Design (MAD) Center for AdvancedVehicles: Founding member of this center, that conducts multidisciplinarydesign research responsive to industry recommendations.

2. Applied AerodynamicsApplications of computational and experimental techniques to understandthe flow physics and improve the aerodynamic performance of flightvehicles. Examples include formation flying, the examination of the effectsof Reynolds number on subsonic/transonic expansion corners for advancedhigh lift systems, and aerodynamics of aircraft at high angle of attack,including abrupt wing stall. Design investigations include forebody shapingfor improved high-α directional stability.

3. Configuration Design for Flight Dynamics ConsiderationsDesign integration investigations with control system requirements,including development of design requirements for use in conceptual design,estimation of control power and stability derivatives in conceptual design,and the interaction between design to meet dynamic maneuverabilityrequirements and classical sustained performance.
