Achievements

James' interests are in aerodynamic shape optimization, adaptive meshes and computational fluid dynamics. James has been awarded two NASA internships at Langley Research Center. In 2012, he led a ten person team on a project related to airspace systems and in 2013, he worked in the Aeroelasticity Branch. Last summer, his project involved dynamic aeroelastic CFD simulations and development of a code that utilizes system identification approaches to identify flutter boundaries from transient aeroelastic data. James has experience running massively parallel simulations in Linux/Unix clusters and is proficient with several programming languages including C/C++, Python, Tcl/Tk and Fortran. His current work is focused on aerodynamic shape optimization and adaptive meshes.
