Major: Mechanical
William Rogers is a PhD student in the Mechanical Engineering department at Texas A&M University. He earned his Bachelors and Master of Science in Mechanical Engineering at Tennessee Tech University, Cookeville. As an undergraduate, he studied wave-driven motion in thin plates. For his Masters, he investigated the superposition of orthogonal structure-borne travelling waves (SBTW) as a tool for driving travelling waves in finite structures in any prescribed direction. His current research is developing mathematical tools for approximating the propagation direction and the quality of these SBTW combinations.
