New Chapter as Professor of Aerospace Engineering
I am thrilled to share that I have been accepted into the esteemed faculty at the renowned Georgia Institute of Technology - a dream destination for my teaching career.
Starting this Fall semester, I will be joining the Daniel Guggenheim School of Aerospace Engineering as Professor of the Practice, bringing my passion for teaching and mentorship to the school community. I am incredibly proud to be contributing to one of the top aerospace engineering programs in the world (currently ranked No. 2 in the United States and No. 1 for publicly-funded institutions).
While I remain available for consulting opportunities that align with university policy, I am only accepting short-term projects or clients at this time. It is my expressed intent to maintain existing and new industry connections in support of my students and ongoing research projects.
I also wanted to extend my sincerest gratitude to each of you who played a vital role in supporting me throughout the year-long selection process, not to mention the arduous and long transition to academia. I will not mention names here, but please know that every bit of encouragement and support meant the world to me and Noemi.
Go Yellow Jackets!
I have just returned from a visit to the Georgia Tech campus in Atlanta, GA. I was fortunate enough to have been invited by distinguished faculty of the Daniel Guggenheim School of Aerospace Engineering (AE School) to hold some introductory lectures.
