Kevin R. Moore

Biography

Kevin Moore develops and applies advanced computational methods for multidisciplinary fluid-structure interaction design, coupled-physics modeling, and control co-design. His work focuses on scientific software development, optimization, and high-fidelity simulation to enable the analysis and maturation of novel aerodynamic, structural, and power systems. He is particularly interested in integrating physics-based models, data, and optimization to accelerate concept development and improve system-level performance, robustness, and reliability.

He received his bachelor’s and master’s degrees in mechanical engineering from Brigham Young University in Provo, Utah, where his undergraduate work emphasized experimental propulsion test methods and his graduate research focused on the design optimization of coupled flight and propulsion systems. Prior to his current role, he worked in commercial aviation, contributing to aircraft certification, flight test engineering, safety analysis, software qualification, and structural substantiation.
