A&A Monday Seminar with Carbon Robotics' Ryan Crompton
Aerospace Applications for AI, Abstract
There is more to AI than chatbots and amazing generative cat videos and in this seminar Ryan will discuss current and future applications for AI in Aerospace.
Bio
Ryan is Carbon Robotics Director of Hardware Engineering where he leads a team that is merging the power of AI with physical systems that can greatly improve the safety and efficiency of real-world tasks. Prior to working at Carbon, Ryan led teams that tested the first New Glenn launch vehicle and developed the largest hydrogen fuel cell technology demonstrator aircraft in the world. Boeing originally brought Ryan to Washington State as an intern which led to a full time position in the Commercial Flight Test Engineering department where he cut his teeth on the 787-9, 747-8 and 737 MAX certification programs. Ryan has had the privilege of being a JCATI board member since 2025 and is passionate about aerospace in Washington State.

A&A Monday Seminar with Philippe Spalart, Flexcompute
A philosophy of turbulence modeling, Abstract
After a long career we discuss both the social and the technical aspects of turbulence modeling. Socially, the author of a successful model becomes responsible to the CFD community for writing clear and complete papers; for motivating the decisions made as much as is possible; for reporting errors; for examining critical comments and proposals of improvements; for avoiding a proliferation of versions; and for persistently thinking of improvements that could become the new "official version." Technically, we outline the many constraints a model must obey, both for the physics and the numerics. We look at the sources of ideas and the sources of data, and discuss the wisdom of having a single model, or a range of versions.
Bio
Philippe Spalart studied Mathematics and Engineering in Paris, and obtained an Aerospace PhD at Stanford/NASA-Ames in 1982. Still at Ames, he conducted Direct Numerical Simulations of transitional and turbulent boundary layers. Moving to…
