Learn an overview of hypersonics research with Dr. Dan DeLaurentis, Director of the Institute For Global Security at Purdue University

Overview:

Hypersonics is one of the top modernization priorities for the Department of Defense and major programs are advancing in the services and at DARPA. Universities must collaborate with government and industry to execute multidisciplinary research leading to viable technologies that can be manufactured at scale. Purdue University possesses one of the largest interdisciplinary team of hypersonic research experts that brings great depth and breadth of experience in basic and applied research for next-generation, and NOW_generation, hypersonic systems. This webinar will provide an overview of this capability at Purdue and provide examples for collaboration opportunities.

Speaker Bio:

Dr. Daniel DeLaurentis is a Professor in Purdue’s School of Aeronautics & Astronautics. Since 2017, Dr. DeLaurentis also serves as the Director of Purdue’s Institute for Global Security and Defense Innovation (i-GSDI) in the University’s Discovery Park. Dr. DeLaurentis is co-lead of the Enterprises as Systems and System of Systems Thrust Area and Chief Scientist in the DoD Systems Engineering Research Center (SERC) UARC, where he leads a project to develop an Analytical Workbench for system of system (SoS) architecture analysis, design and evolution as well as a project on Modular Open Systems Approach (MOSA).

His primary research interests are in the areas of problem formulation, modeling and simulation, and robust system design and control methods for aerospace systems and systems-of-systems (SoS). This includes agent-based modeling, network theory, optimization, dependency analysis, and aerospace vehicle modeling. His research is conducted under grants from NASA, FAA, Navy, the DoD Systems Engineering Research Center UARC, the Missile Defense Agency, and various aerospace industry firms.
