Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolShaun R. Harris is an R&D aeronautical engineer and Stanford-trained PhD with a decade of experience in high-speed computational and experimental fluid dynamics, now advancing laminar-turbulent transition research at Sandia National Laboratories. He develops and validates reduced-order models and ensemble linear stability predictions for hypersonic vehicle design, coupling direct numerical simulation with uncertainty quantification and machine-learning techniques. Shaun has a track record of implementing scalable C++ boundary conditions and running massively parallel simulations to predict aerothermal failure and time-to-demise scenarios under varied flight conditions. His work bridges fundamental stability theory (Orr–Sommerfeld/Parabolized Stability Equations) and practical design tools, and he maintains DOE-Q clearance for classified projects. Notably, he blends hands-on experimental experience from his undergraduate work with advanced computational methods, making him adept at turning high-fidelity physics into reliable engineering predictions.
