Senior🎓
Top SchoolSimon Schmitt is an application engineer and aerospace-focused researcher with 11 years of experience applying CFD, FEA and computational chemistry to predict and improve thermal protection systems for hypersonic entry. He has led end-to-end projects at NASA Ames—developing Python, Fortran and C++ tools to model ablation and manage material failure—and supervised a NASA internship that produced a new ML-based method to quantify chemistry model uncertainties. His PhD in mechanical engineering and CFD certificate underpin a blend of hands-on simulation, code development and experimental insight gained since early roles in automotive and manufacturing. Now based in Lexington, KY, he brings both practical fabrication experience and advanced computational modeling to bridge lab-scale chemistry with flight-scale engineering.
