Join us tomorrow for our Expert Lecture with Dr. Marilyn Smith!
December 4 @ 11:00 am EST
Title: Aerodynamic Analysis and Design Considerations
Bio: Dr. Marilyn Smith received her PhD from Georgia Tech in 1994 while working in fixed- and rotary-wing industry from 1982 to 1997. She joined the School of Aerospace Engineering at Georgia Tech in 1997 where she is currently full professor and Director of the Vertical Lift Research Center of Excellence (VLRCOE). Smith performs research in the areas of non-linear computational aeroelasticity (using CFD) and the integrated multidisciplinary areas of unsteady aerodynamics and acoustic/fluid/structure interactions across rotating and fixed wing vehicles and systems. Her recent research also includes award-winning development of nonlinear reduced-order models for design and modeling and simulation. Her research sponsors include all branches of the DoD, NASA, and DoE, ARO, ONR, and NSF, as well as industry. She was named a Fellow of the AIAA and RAeS and a Technical Fellow of the American Helicopter Society (AHS), now VFS, for her research in these areas, where she has authored or co-authored more than 200 publications. She gave the 2022 VFS Nikolsky and 2023 RAeS Lanchester Memorial Honorary Lectures, as well as receiving the 2022 AIAA Applied Aerodynamic Award, for her research in computational aeromechanics. She has twice won the AHS Agusta-Westland International Fellowship Award and NASA Group Achievement Awarsd for her research in rotorcraft. She is a current board member of the VFS, past VLC board member, and VFS Technical Director Emeritus.
