Research Projects

Office of Naval ResearchJune 2007 – August 2008

• Performed reliability-based structural optimization of torpedo-like structures
• Implemented and developed adaptive heuristic optimization schemes for efficient analysis
• Constructed and implemented a multi-fidelity modeling and uncertainty quantification framework for the design of a multi-physics projectile defense system

Air Force Research Laboratory August 2008 – Present

• Worked in a team of 6 students and additional external researchers from both AFRL and outside contractorsin the design and optimization of a long-range supersonic bomber
• Performed both parametric and modeling-induced uncertainty quantification in the transonic flutter analysis of the aircraft using CFD-based aeroelastic simulation packages
• Developed novel methods for the quantification of modeling-induced uncertainties in the design process
