About Jeffrey Taylor

Jeffrey is a PhD student in the department of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering at Utah State University. His research focuses on multidisciplinary design and optimization of morphing-wing aircraft. He has worked with the Air Force Research Laboratory and is currently working with NASA as an ARMD research fellow to develop new aerostructural theories to predict optimum spanload distributions on morphing- and flexible-wing aircraft. He also works to create low-order tools to rapidly identify morphing-wing designs that minimize aircraft fuel consumption and mitigate negative aeroelastic effects.
