Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolDavid Sheen is a physicist and computational researcher with over a decade at NIST, specializing in numerical modeling of reacting flows, chemical kinetics, uncertainty quantification, and systems optimization. He holds a Ph.D. in Aerospace Engineering from USC and has a strong track record applying polynomial chaos and design-of-experiments techniques to make complex combustion and reactive systems both predictive and robust. Equally comfortable with data analytics and low-level server and database administration, he bridges scientific modeling and production-ready computational infrastructure. His work routinely combines rigorous uncertainty analysis with practical system optimization, enabling measurable improvements in model fidelity and experimental design. Based in Gaithersburg, MD, he brings a rare blend of deep theory, hands-on engineering, and operational stewardship to national-scale measurement challenges.
