B.S. in Aerospace Engineering (2021) – Texas A&M University

Kevin is a graduate student at Texas A&M University in the Aerospace Engineering Department. He was involved in undergraduate research, focusing on experimental design and test, including composite fatigue, infinite-wing aerodynamics, and an SMA-actuated low speed flow control device. Kevin has previously interned with L3Harris as a mechanical designer and the Air Force Research Laboratory at Kirtland AFB, NM, focusing on detection of non-Kolmogorov turbulence and CFD analysis of aero-optical treatments for supersonic shear layers. His current research seeks to reduce acoustic emissions of high-lift devices on commercial air transports, and involves aerodynamic, structural, and acoustic analysis and testing. To enable advanced acoustic measurements, he is leading development of a high-resolution scanning beamforming array for acoustic imaging.
