Dr. Justin Jaworski

Justin Jaworski received his BSE, MS, and PhD (2009) degrees in mechanical engineering from Duke University, where he was awarded the 2008 Dean’s Award for Excellence in Mentoring and supported the research of several undergraduate students with competitive grant awards such as the North Carolina Space Grant and Sigma Xi Grant-in-Aid. Before joining the Mechanical Engineering and Mechanics faculty at Lehigh, he held the postdoctoral appointments of NRC Research Associate at the Air Force Research Laboratory and NSF International Research Fellow at the University of Cambridge. He is a recipient of a 2015 AFOSR Young Investigator Award, and his present research efforts include the unsteady, nonlinear aeroelastic analyses of flexible structures for next-generation aerospace and energy applications, as well as the development of mathematical models to figure out how owls fly silently.
