In the Bay Area May 26? I’m guest speaking at Stanford!

I’ve been invited by Professor Antony Jameson to speak to his graduate seminar at Stanford University on Wednesday, May 26. The class, Case Studies in Aircraft Design, “aims to give students a practical perspective on aircraft design from the practitioners and experts in the field.”
Professor Jameson is widely regarded as the father of modern computational fluid dynamics (CFD) and his extensive work as a leader in aeronautical engineering has directly benefitted the development of aircraft such as the 757, 767, 747-400, Next Generation 737, 777 and 787, and I’m incredibly excited at the opportunity to speak to his students who will design the next generation of aircraft.
I’m absolutely thrilled that the talk is both open to the public and free, so if you happen to be in the Bay Area next Wednesday, please feel free to attend, and better yet, bring questions!
Here are all the details, including the abstract for my lecture:
 

Building 21st Century Aircraft: The View from the Outside (Wednesday, May 26th)

With the first decade of the 21st century now complete, commercial aircraft design and manufacturing is forever transformed. Aircraft development has shifted from higher, faster (speed), farther to faster (time to market), better and most importantly cheaper. Tectonic shifts are taking place in the industry with new technologies, new global players are emerging and new business models are taking hold. Boeing’s 787 Dreamliner is the embodiment of that transformation. Here is how it looks from the outside peering in. Finding and reporting on the context for this shift – in today’s new media environment – is at the heart of covering the aerospace industry and the aircraft it creates.
