Understanding sonic booms - Tagg Durrant | Stanford Aero/Astro PhD

  • Summary

  • As a PhD student in Aerospace Engineering, he is focused on developing new aerospace exploration technologies that can inspire and improve the world. During his undergraduate years, he worked in a research lab supporting NASA’s Quiet Supersonic Technology (QUESST) mission, measuring rocket launch acoustics, and reentry sonic booms of SpaceX’s Falcon 9. He also interned at NASA Langley Research Center, where he used machine learning and sonic boom prediction software to help prepare for the X-59’s first flights.

    Now, at Stanford, he is entering the field of computational aerospace engineering. He aims to develop computational methods that will aid in designing the next generation of rockets, planes, spacecraft, and hypersonic systems.

    He also strives to support the next generation of aerospace engineers. In an industry that can seem daunting and overwhelming, he is dedicated to providing knowledge, tools, and connections to those who need them.
