👋 Meet Aero PhD student Elise Özalp! Elise’s passion for combining machine learning and engineering has propelled her into a very exciting area of research.

We are celebrating International Women in Engineering Day later this week, 23 June. Our BecomingX films showcase the lives and journeys of some incredible women engineers. From Steve Shirley's legacy to get women into computing to Ursula Burns becoming the first African American

Meet Dr Nausheen Basha (Nausheen Basha), Researcher at Imperial ChemEng Imperial College London. Nausheen works on developing novel & viable reactor designs for a range of applications, using Computational Fluid Dynamics #CFD & #MachineLearning techniques #WomenInSTEM #INWED23 #MakeSafetySeen

To celebrate International Women in Engineering Day, #INWED23, we'll be taking a look at some incredible alumni who are paving the way in both industry and academia 👇🏻

Meet Prof Catherine Noakes (@CathNoakes), Professor of Environmental Engineering for Buildings at University of Leeds & Deputy Director Leeds Institute for Fluid Dynamics (LIFD). Catherine leads experimental and #CFD research on ventilation, indoor air quality & airborne infection transmission #WomenInSTEM

Congratulations Lidia Caros Roca ! Well done 👏👏👏

Meet Dr Juan Li (Julia Li), Lecturer in Aerodynamics at King's College London. Juan's research includes fundamental unsteady aerodynamics and fluid dynamics challenges related to bio-inspired flying & swimming systems, as well as renewable energy systems WRISE formerly WoWE #WomenInSTEM

Eleanor C Pressly US aeronautical engineer in sounding rocket program NASA Goddard Space Flight Center. Oversaw launches @ White Sands Missile Range & Fort Churchill "No matter how many times it happens, I can never get over the excitement of a launching" en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eleanor_C…

I shouldn’t blow my own trumpet, but as this account is part of the reason behind this award, I will happily do it! Here’s to all women in aerospace, my students, colleagues, peers… you amaze me and inspire me!

Pelagia Majewska #Polish #aeroplane & #glider pilot-instructor, won many national & world #glider records. d. #OTD 12 July 1988 in aircraft accident, FAI created medal in her memory given annually to outstanding female glider #pilot. bit.ly/3ETUedW

Meet Nikki van Luijk, PhD Candidate in Aerospace Engineering at TU Delft. Nikki is conducting #CFD & experimental research on the vortex aerodynamics of highly swept crescent wings found in the novel Flying-V aircraft concept #WomenInSTEM #SustainableAviation

Congratulations to the winners of the Julia Higgins award and medal 🎉 Six members of staff were recognised this year for their outstanding contributions to supporting women in academia. Hear from two of the winners 👇 imperial.ac.uk/news/246153/st…

Gwen Alston (née Hannah Gwendolen Shone) #aerodynamicist & #educationalist worked on spinning tunnels & aircraft flight-testing in #WWII & later in flight education & as HM Inspector. Her test pilot called her "a truly remarkable lady boffin" d 14 Jul 1993 en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gwen_Alst…

Letitia Chitty structural analytical #engineer analysing stresses of airframes, ships & civil engineering structures. 1st Royal Aeronautical Society female Fellow & recipient ICE Telford Medal. Women's Eng. Society member worked Imperial College London b #OTD 15 July 1897 en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Letitia_C…

Vera Strodl Dowling #Danish #pilot, only #Scandinavian woman to fly in #WWII UK Air Transport Auxiliary. Wrote name of new plane types flown on flying jacket. Pre war test pilot & air craft inspector, later instructed pilots in #Canada. b #OTD 16 Jul 1918 bit.ly/3ZhGAJR

Another great flow visualization simulation by Patricia Ventura Diaz (Patricia Ventura) of NASA Ames showing the vortex wake of NASA's Quiet Single-Main Rotor (QSMR) helicopter in hover #CFD #UAM #VTOL #WomenInSTEM

Irmgard Flügge-Lotz German-American #mathematician #aerospace #engineer. Pioneer in development of the theory of discontinuous automatic control. 1st female #engineering professor Stanford University & 1st female engineer Fellow of American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics b. #OTD 16 July 1903 en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Irmgard_F…

Slide by Anastasia Pesce, a Lead Engineer at European Space Agency, in her plenary "How to establish a culture for women visibility in aerospace" at EUCASS-CEAS Conference. Important to make this info visible. Low no. of women participants often reflects the make-up of the organising committee...

Congratulations to Lidia Caros Roca - winning a Vertical Flight Foundation Scholarship from The Vertical Flight Society and a NASA Group Achievement Award for her work with the NASA ROAMX team who are developing new rotor blade designs for Martian helicopters 🚁imperial.ac.uk/news/246314/ae…

👋 Earlier this week we bid farewell to the incredible icunion (2022-23), and as Aeronautics alumnus Hayley hung up her presidential hat, we caught up with her for some final thoughts…
