B.S. in Mechanical Engineering (2021) – Texas A&M University
Jared is a PhD student at Texas A&M University in the Aerospace Engineering Department. He graduated from Texas A&M University with a Bachelor of Science in Mechanical Engineering in May 2021. As an undergraduate student, Jared explored a range of different research areas including prototype design and testing, parameterization using machine learning, and analysis-driven design of composite components. He is currently working on the calibration of composite material properties that will be used in future design studies.
Current Research Projects:
- Material Property Calibration of Novel Composites for Aerospace Applications
Previous Research Projects:
- Rapid Mission-Driven Adaptive Aerostructures Design and Optimization: developed prototype of the novel adaptive vehicle design framework, Software for Parallelizable Analysis, Reconfiguration, and Rapid Optimization (SPARRO)
- Composite Component Design: analysis-driven design of a segmented skin with composite components
- NASA Phase 1 SBIR: Smart Passively Articulating High-Turndown Radiator: designed and tested a prototype articulating radiator
- Atmospheric Profile Parameterization: used machine learning (autoencoder) to parameterize relative humidity profiles
- NASA University Leadership Initiative (ULI): designed and tested a morphing supersonic wind tunnel mode
