Rocket Propulsion & Artificial Intelligence! Attend this virtual tech talk and win $

We invite you to join us for a virtual chat with AI Futures, brought to you by Mantel
Technologies. Learn about our program that encourages students to explore
advanced technology roles with the Department of Defense, the largest employer in the
world.

We are pleased to welcome Scott Meyer, Managing Director of Maurice J. Zucrow
Laboratories at Purdue University. Meyer has been Zucrow’s managing director since 2009.Meyer joined the staff at Zucrow in 2001 as a senior engineer when the State of Indiana made an investment to create a Propulsion and Power Center of Excellence at Purdue. Previously, Meyer was a senior propulsion engineer at Beal Aerospace in Frisco, Texas. In that role, he defined test programs to support the development of the BA2-C launch vehicle stages and hydrogen peroxide/kerosene-fueled rocket engines. He gained experience designing and building both rocket engines and the associated testing facilities. In the three years that Beal Aerospace was in operation, Meyer was a part of the team that developed and successfully tested 5,000 lbf thrust,44,000 lbf thrust, and 800,000 lbf thrust liquid rocket engines.

After completing a master’s in Aeronautics and Astronautics at Purdue in 1992, Meyer began work at Arnold Engineering Development Center in Tullahoma, Tenn., as a project engineer in the Propulsion Wind Tunnel Test Facility. He directed propulsion integration wind tunnel tests for contractorson the F-22 and F/A-18 fighter aircraft and the X-33 SSTO launch vehicle.The tests focused on engine-inlet compatibility and afterbody jet effectsat transonic and supersonic flight conditions.
