Advanced Dvnamics,Inc.

(ASTE-P) modeling and simulation for aerospace vehicles. He is the Principal Investigators of over 20 government and industrial contracts, including SBIR, STTR and other industrial contracts. He is also the technical lead for the development of ADI’s integrated and variable-fidelitycomputer software, ASTE-P (a state-of-the-art commercial software tool set), for modeling and simulation of fluid dynamics, structural mechanics, flight control, and aeroelasticity (AE) / aeroservoelasticity (ASE) / aeroservothermoelasticity and propulsion (ASTE-P) of aerospace vehicles, marine and off-shore ships,high-speed trains and automotives,as well as other complex mechanical systems. Dr. Hu is theCo-founder of the highly-reputed compressible vorticity confinement (CVC) for vortex dominated flows with Dr. Bernard Grossman at National Institute of Aerospace (http://ns1.nianet.org/leadership/bernardgrossman.php) and Dr. John Steinhoff at University of Tennessee Space Institute (http://www.utsi.edu/faculty/jsteinhoff/steinhoff.htm). Dr. Hu’s research team at Advanced Dynamics Inc. pioneered the research of particle-based methods for aerospace applications such as CFD, CSD and nonlinear aeroelasticity (i.e. flutter/LCO) and fluid-structure interactions. The research of Dr. Hu in reduced order model (ROM) for proper orthogonal decomposition (POD) and Volterra series enables the fast computing of aircraft flutter and LCO and their suppression. ASTE-P is the World’s first integrated and variable-fidelity tool set with all necessary computational ingredients (fluid, structure, control, propulsion, acoustics and their interactions, as well as design optimization) for multi-disciplinary, multi-physics, multi-scale and multi-fidelity analysis and design optimization (4MAO) of aerospace vehicles, marine and off-shore ships, automotives, high-speed trains as well as complex mechanical systems. Dr. Hu is the recipient of numerous prizes and awards, including Congressional Medal of Distinction received in 2006 and 2008, for which only an elite group of professional and business people were nominated to receive the award before the awards selection committee reached a final decision. Dr. Hu is the follow of University of Kentucky and an adjunct professor at University of Kentucky (http://www.engr.uky.edu/me/faculty_staff/patrickhu.html) and University of Utah (http://www.ece.utah.edu/people/hu) involving supervising Postdoc and graduate students. Dr. Hu has published over 100 technical papers and reports in the fields. Dr. Hu received his Ph.D. in aerospace engineering and Masters Degree in computer science in 2001 from Virginia Tech, and then he worked as a Postdoctoral associate in mechanical engineering department from 2001 to 2003 at Virginia Tech. He worked as assistant professor at department of mechanical engineering of University of Utah from 2003 to 2006. Dr. Hu founded Advanced Dynamics Corporation in 2005 and currently serves as the president and principal scientist. Dr. Hu has a strong leadership and lead Advanced Dynamics Inc. (ADI) from a small company to a well-organized corporation with over 10 employees and most of them have Ph.D.
