About the Event
Dr. Laura White: Aerospace Vehicle Design and Mission Analysis Mathematician, NASA Langley Research Center
Laura White is an Aerospace Engineer at NASA Langley Research Center. She received a bachelor's degree in mathematics from Arkansas State University in 2013. Her undergraduate research focused on optimal statistical design of experiments for engineering and science applications. In 2018, she received her doctorate in mathematics from the University of Nebraska-Lincoln. For her doctoral research she focused on nonlocal hyperbolic equations and nonlocal Cahn-Hilliard equations. Upon completion of her doctoral program she entered the government workforce at NASA Langley Research center where she applies knowledge from both her undergraduate and graduate studies. She currently works on statistical applications of quantifying uncertainties that exist within the governing mathematical equations of fluid flow around aerospace vehicles. She spends her days trying to answer the question: "Given the assumptions we make to describe this aerodynamic flow, how…
