- Swati Saxena, our next pathbreaker, Research Scientist at NASA Ames Research Center (California), works on long-term challenging problems in the area of commercial aviation, especially next generation air traffic management and concepts to support sustainable aviation.
- Swati talks to Shyam Krishnamurthy from The Interview Portal about being exposed to experimental and computational projects on wind tunnels during her BTech (Aerospace) at IIT Kanpur, that led her to a PhD in Aeroacoustics and a career in Aeroengines/Aerodynamics with a focus on sustainability.
- My final year project was to test and validate a new design for a vertical axis wind turbine, and working through the entire project gave me a very good understanding of the process of product design, build, test and validation.
- I worked on solving real-world problems like the impact of icing on engine performance and the degradation of gas turbine components due to operation in hot and harsh environments (regions with high concentration of sand and dust in the atmosphere).
- After working at ESI Group for a year, I joined Ansys as the Technical Director for Aerospace and Defense in North America and led the technical engagements with aerospace companies such as Boeing and the US Air Force.
