That shaking you feel when you’re on a plane and it experiences turbulence? Or the forces at play when a spaceship re enters the earth’s atmosphere? Both are caused by very similar phenomena, and today’s guest has studied its causes and effects inside and out.
This episode gets into our guest¨s journey through finding a career in Aerospace that feels right for her. She goes in depth about how she has gotten to where she is today, including giving the inside scoop on how she manages to find and keep mentors who can support her in the various facets of her life and career.
Known in many spaces as the first woman from the OECS to attain a PhD in Aerospace Engineering, Professor Liselle Joseph is currently an Assistant Professor with dual appointments with Virginia Tech’s Aerospace & Ocean Engineering department and National Security Institute. Her research focuses on hypersonic phenomenology using both experimental techniques and high-fidelity CFD. Before joining VT’s faculty, Dr. Joseph worked in industry, gaining invaluable research into current real-world engineering standards and methodologies, current needs and landscape of the community, as well as industry expectations for new graduates. Her most recent industry work involved a range of developments and research within the hypersonic flow-field. Prior to 2020, Dr. Joseph developed new compression system technologies for both commercial and military applications at Pratt and Whitney.
Another good one!!
We hope you enjoy the journey on today’s Pathway!
