Å·ÃÀ¿Ú±¬ÊÓƵ K.C. Park and Carlos Felippa

K.C. Park
K.C. Park is a professor emeritus in the Ann and H.J. Smead Department of Aerospace Engineering Sciences at Å·ÃÀ¿Ú±¬ÊÓƵ Boulder. He is a fellow of the American Society of Mechanical Engineers and has written over 150 publications. His research includes modeling of multiphysics, contact and interface problems, parallel computations of nonlinear structures, dynamics and control of aerospace structures, system identification and structural health monitoring, fluid-structure interactions, MEMS, and adaptive structures. He joined Å·ÃÀ¿Ú±¬ÊÓƵ Boulder in 1987.

Carlos Felippa
Carlos A. Felippais a professor of Aerospace Engineering Sciences at Å·ÃÀ¿Ú±¬ÊÓƵ Boulder. His research concerns aerospace structures andÌýÌý structural analysis, with special interests in coupled field problems: elastoacoustics, aeroelasticity, control-structure interaction, thermomechanics and electrothermomechanics. Felippa studied civil engineering at the Universidad Nacional de Córdoba (Ing. Civ. 1963) and the University of California, Berkeley (MS 1964 and PhD 1966). After working at Boeing and Lockheed, he joined the Å·ÃÀ¿Ú±¬ÊÓƵ Boulder faculty 1986.
