Two best paper awards for Adam Gaier
In June, Adam travelled to the aviation forum of The American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics (AIAA) in Denver where he won first price in the Multidisciplinary Analysis and Optimization (MDO) Student Paper Competition. His award-winning paper Aerodynamic Design Exploration through Surrogate- Assisted Illumination is co-edited by H-BRS professor Alexander Asteroth and french researcher Jean-Baptiste Mouret. Judges and cash prize were provided by NASA, Boeing, and Lockheed-Martin. Adam and his team introduce a novel method for design space exploration and optimization, Surrogate-Assisted Illumination (SAIL). Please click below for a full pdf version of the paper:
