2016 Overset Grid Symposium Invited Speakers

Prior to coming to the University of Wyoming in 2003, Dr. Mavriplis was employed at the National Institute of Aerospace (2002-2003), located in Hampton VA, and at ICASE, NASA Langley Research Center, Hampton VA, for 15 years. Dr. Mavriplis graduated from Princeton University with a Ph.D in Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering. Dr. Mavriplis has over 30 years experience in researching and developing CFD solvers for aerospace applications including unstructured mesh methods, high-order methods, and adjoint methods for optimization, error estimation and uncertainty quantification for fixed and rotary wing application as well as for wind energy problems. He has an extensive publication record in computational fluid dynamics, numerical analysis and aerospace engineering. He was a principal developer on the HELIOS rotorcraft simulation software project. He has also been heavily involved in high-performance computing issues both on campus and through the NCAR-Wyoming Supercomputer Alliance. Dr. Mavriplis is a member of the organizing committee for the AIAA Drag Prediction Workshop and High Lift Prediction Workshop series. He is also one of the principal contributing authors to the NASA Vision CFD2030 Report, which has formulated a vision and strategy for long term technology development in computational fluid dynamics and related disciplines for aerospace engineering.
