Lucas Spies is a Ph.D. candidate in the Mechanical Engineering Department at Texas A&M University. He earned his B.S. in Mechanical Engineering from Universidad Tecnologica Nacional, FRSF, Argentina. He worked for three years as an undergraduate student researcher at the Fluid Dynamics lab (FLOW) in the ME department at UTN-FRSF. He was involved in the study, design, and manufacturing of vertical-axis wind turbines. He also holds a Master of Science degree in Mechanical Engineering from Virginia Tech. As part of his work, he developed a Machine-learning-based tool to predict Tire-Pavement Interaction Noise (TPIN) using both Tire and Pavement parameters. His research focuses on the physics behind the flow-induced noise phenomenon in head wearables, consumer electronics, and hearing aid devices.

His current research focuses on ‘Cyber-Physical System integrity and security with electro-mechanical impedance’. His work titled ‘High-frequency Modal Synthesis for Impedance Measurements’, showcases the implementation of electromechanical impedance measurements for unique part identification and physically informed structural health monitoring.
Amirhossein Omidi Soroor
Amirhossein Omidi Soroor is a Ph.D. student in the Mechanical Engineering Department, Texas A&M University. He obtained his Master’s degree in Aerospace Engineering from Sharif University of Technology.
Kevin Lieb
Kevin Lieb is a PhD student in aerospace engineering, working towards experimental aerodynamic, structural, and acoustic testing of a potential treatment for the leading-edge slat. Current work focuses on the development of a high-resolution, low-cost acoustic beamforming system. As an undergraduate, he focused on experimental work, including composite fatigue testing, and wind-tunnel testing of infinite wing sections, and designed, built, and tested an SMA-actuated low-speed flow modification device. Kevin works with the M2AESTRO Laboratory under Dr. Darren Hartl, https://maestrolab.tamu.edu/.
William C Rogers
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.
Trevor Turner
Trevor Turner is a PhD student in the Mechanical Engineering Department at Texas A&M University where he also obtained his bachelor’s and master’s degrees. His current research focuses on multi-axis shock testing using resonant plates, funded by the Kansas City National Security Campus operated by Honeywell Federal Manufacturing & Technologies, LLC.
