Session 1B: Towards Flight Uncertainty Prediction of Hypersonic Entry Systems

Dr. Serhat Hosder is currently the James A. Drallmeier Centennial Professor of Aerospace Engineering in the Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering Department at Missouri S&T and serves as the director of Aerospace Simulations Laboratory. He received his PhD degree in Aerospace Engineering from Virginia Tech in 2004. Prof. Hosder's research activities focus on the fields of computational aerothermodynamics, multi-fidelity modeling and uncertainty quantification of hypersonic flows and technologies, directed energy for hypersonic applications, planetary entry/descent/landing of spacecraft, and aerodynamic shape optimization. His recent research projects have been funded by DoD Joint Hypersonics Transition Office, NASA, Missile Defense Agency, NSF and industry. Prof. Hosder is a Fellow of the Royal Aeronautical Society and an Associate Fellow of AIAA. He was the past chair of AIAA Hypersonic Technologies and Space Planes (HyTASP) Technical Committee (TC) between 2019 and 2021 and currently serves in the steering committee of HyTASP TC.
