Alexander Mccormick is a PhD-seeking aerospace engineer at Georgia Tech’s Ben T. Zinn Combustion Lab focused on modeling combustion physics to enable more efficient, sustainable engines. He brings nine years of technical experience and a hands-on design background from a Jacobs internship at Kennedy Space Center supporting NASA’s Artemis program, where he engineered compressible flow systems for the Mobile Launcher. A WashU valedictorian with top mechanical engineering honors, he pairs rigorous academic training with practical lab and field experience. His collegiate national championship in swimming and NCAA Elite 90 Award reflect exceptional discipline and time management that he applies to complex research and fast-paced engineering environments. Alexander is as comfortable translating detailed CFD/combustion models into testable hardware as he is communicating insights to multidisciplinary teams, making him a strong bridge between theory and flight‑critical systems.
