Bio
Dr. Atkinson is an Assistant professor of Mechanical Engineering. Prior to joining NCAT, he worked as an advanced lead, aerospace design engineer at General Electric Aviation (GEA) in Evendale, Ohio, where he designed high-speed nozzles for next generation military aircraft. He has over 10 years of experience in applied computational fluid dynamics (CFD) at the Air Force Research Laboratory (Wright-Patterson AFB) and Naval Air Systems Command, where his work primarily focused on supersonic inlet design, non-equilibrium angle-of-attack reentry flow, and plasma-based flow control for advanced flight control. His recent work includes high-fidelity, multi-phase flow analysis for design and optimization of ocean wave renewable energy devices, and plasma-based flow control of incompressible, separated flow.
