Doctoral candidate named Huntsville AIAA Graduate Student of the Year

Langston Williams, a doctoral candidate in aerospace engineering, was recently named the 2019 Graduate Student of the Year by the Greater Huntsville Section of the American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics. 

Williams was nominated for his elegance, dedication and pursuit of academic excellence in regional and national competitions. His research devotes itself to the theoretical and computational modeling of wall-bounded cyclonic flows evolving in hemispherically shaped rocket engines. His work is inspired by the need to characterize the internal flowfield of upper stage vortex engines, particularly, those being developed by Sierra Nevada Corporation for use on the Dream Chaser suborbital vehicle.
