Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolLogan Halstrom is an aerospace engineer and PhD candidate at UC Davis with 11 years of experience applying dynamic CFD to real-world aerospace problems, including parachute and reentry vehicle dynamics. He splits time between academia—teaching senior aerospace courses and leading interdisciplinary research in HRVIP—and applied work at NASA (Ames and Johnson) where he has developed parameterized CFD grids, trajectory reconstruction algorithms, and dynamic simulation tools for the Orion program. His background blends hands-on flight-test and wind-tunnel analyses with numerical methods and optimization (including a Python NSGA-II implementation), giving him a rare combination of practical test expertise and advanced simulation skills. Based in Mountain View, he is known for translating complex unsteady aerodynamics into robust engineering solutions that improve crew safety in extreme environments.
