Duke Aeroelasticity Group

Acoustics, Aerodynamics, Aeroelasticity and Aeromechanics are the 4As or Four Aces of the aerospace engineering program at Duke University. For many years an active research and graduate program has focused on the 4As. In the following you will meet those who have contributed to these programs, some of our most prominent graduates and of course the current faculty, staff and student team.

Student Opportunities

The duke aeroelasticity group provides great opportunities for both undergraduate and graduate students.

Undergraduate Opportunities

Aerospace Engineering Certificate Program: The Aerospace Certificate Program at Duke offers a rigorous and in depth exposure to scientific and engineering fundamentals in the broad set of core disciplines required in the aerospace field

Undergraduate Independent Study: Duke undergraduates are encouraged to contact faculty and/or graduate students within the research group to discuss possible research opportunities

Research Experience for Undergraduate Students: This is a great opportunity for undergraduates from around the country to explore conducting research at Duke.

Graduate Student Opportunities

The Duke Aeroelasticity group is a great place to conduct groundbreaking research and is able to support students pursuing M.S. and Ph.D. degrees. The group's extensive contacts in academia and industry make a degree a great launching point for a career. Our graduate students are funded through NASA, DoD, and NSF grants and fellowship.

Learn more about the current graduate students by visiting the Graduate Students page. Information on current graduate student research is found by visitng the Research Focus page.

The group is also interested in hosting graduate students from universities around the world on a visiting basis. Please direct mail directly to the faculty members to inquire about collaboration and visiting opportunities

Industry Opportunities

GUIde

The acronym “GUIde” stands for Government Agencies, Universities, and Industry working together on a common goal. Through cooperation, the organizations within the Consortium develop an enhanced view of how to achieve their objective. Consequently, the Consortium serves as “guides” for one another in solving challenges in controlling the vibration of bladed disks.

Benefits: Over $3M worth of software, test data and knowledge

Membership: $50k per year for 4 years (2013-2017)
