Dr. Kevin Doetsch is a research scientist at Oak Ridge National Laboratory in the Computational Sciences and Engineering Division. In this role, Kevin researches, develops, implements, and applies complex numerical algorithms for various gofluid dynamics simulations. Previously, Kevin spent twelve years working in Boeing’s fixed-wing aerodynamics team as the primary CFD focal for a variety of Boeing Defense programs such as F-15, F-18, T-7A, and other proprietary programs. Kevin also spent two years as an adjunct professor at Saint Louis University where he taught junior-level aerodynamics. While working at Boeing, Kevin earned his Ph.D. in aerospace engineering at the University of Michigan under the guidance of Professor Krzysztof Fidkowski. His research focused on mesh refinement and error estimation using a combined output-based and entropy-based adjoint, as well as the Streamline-Upwind Petrov-Galerkin (SUPG) stabilized finite-element discretization. He earned his BS in aerospace engineering at Iowa State University and his MS in aerospace engineering at the Missouri University of Science and Technology.
