Technical Staff

Dr. Andrew G. Godfrey is a Senior Research Scientist at AeroSoft and received his B.S. (1988) and Ph.D. (1992) in Aerospace Engineering from Virginia Tech. His doctoral thesis in computational fluid dynamics emphasizes high-order schemes, convergence-acceleration techniques, and finite-rate chemistry. Since 1993, he has been a full-time Senior Research Scientist with AeroSoft and has been the Principal Investigator on government contracts involving two-equation turbulence modeling, incompressible and compressible flows, shape optimization and sensitivity analysis. Dr. Godfrey is the author of the GASP v3 User's Manual and is responsible for AeroSoft's continuous sensitivity equation (CSE) software, SENSE.

Dr. William D. McGrory received his B.S. and Ph.D. degrees in Aerospace Engineering from Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University in 1987 and 1991, respectively. His research has involved unstructured grid-generation and solution algorithms. He is the author of the advancing front/Delauney grid generator. His Ph.D. dissertation involved solution algorithms for unstructured discretizations. In addition, under the Aerothermal-Technology-Development program, he performed algorithm research pertaining to unstructured discretizations with GASP-type technology. Dr. McGrory is the project leader of the unstructured software package, GUST. Dr. McGrory is President at AeroSoft and is responsible for the overall technical and scientific direction taken by the company.

Dr. Reece Neel received his B.S. and Ph.D. in Aerospace Engineering from Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State Univeristy in 1993 and 1997, respectively. His research background consists of CFD code developement for the incompressible and compressible Navier-Stokes equations, as well as the full potential equation. Specific areas in code development include algebraic and two-equation turbulence models, time integration schemes, gradient methods for unstructured grids, and boundary conditions. He has developed a full potential solver for unstructured meshes which has commerical applications. He currently handles technical support for all AeroSoft products, is a member of the GUST development team, and works with Graphical User Interfaces.

Dr. David C. Slack received his B.S. and Ph.D. in Aerospace Engineering fromVirginia Polytechnic Institute and State University in 1987 and 1991, respectively. He earned the honor of Magna Cum Laude and entered directly into the doctoral program specializing in Computational Fluid Dynamics. Dr. Slack is Vice President at AeroSoft is the program manager for GASP, principal author of GASPv4 and has been a principal investigator on several successful contracts through both NASA and DoD.
