Education:
Promoted to Senior Researcher serving as project supervisor and principal
investigator for research projects in the areas of wind tunnel and scale
model testing, full-scale testing, and specialized aerodynamic test facilities.
Emphasis placed on scale model testing as related to the aerodynamics of
large turbofan and turbojet engine test cells and air intake and exhaust
uptake duct systems for marine and industrial applications of gas turbine
engines. Results from these research studies have been to define modifications
for full-scale engine test facilities or configurations for gas turbine
installations now in use world-wide. Beginning as Assistant Director (in
1992) and then as Associate Director (since 1995) of AARL, assumed responsibility
for the managing and coordinating with the Director the conduct of the
Laboratory research projects including staff selection, assignment and
scheduling, monitoring of Laboratory project funds, and acquisition and
use of facilities and equipment. Continued responsibility for Laboratory
computer systems, including operating system installation and maintenance,
all support libraries, and extensive application and data acquisition software
systems.
