Summary
Becky Sondelski is an advanced lead engineer specializing in thermal dynamics with eight years of experience applying thermal sciences, system modeling, and data-driven design to aviation and power systems. Currently at GE Aerospace, she leads thermal analysis and cooling design for gas turbine exhaust systems, building on rotational development work across component heat transfer and system-level thermal management at GE Research. Her academic work on a supercritical CO2 Brayton cycle for Mars surface power—modeled and optimized in MATLAB—demonstrates a knack for reducing system mass and launch cost while tackling high-risk, multidisciplinary problems. Becky combines hands-on manufacturing and process improvement experience from early internships with advanced simulation and optimization skills developed during graduate research, making her equally effective at prototype-to-production transitions. Based in Cincinnati, she is completing a Mechanical Engineering master’s at UW–Madison and brings a practical curiosity about applying thermal solutions to aviation and space challenges.
