Biography:
Dr. Ali Abdul-Aziz is currently a Senior Research Scientist at NASA Glenn Research Center through an affiliation with Cleveland State University, Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering, Cleveland, Ohio, USA. His current task involves carrying several duties in support of research activities at the Research Center. Dr. Abdul-Aziz has been associated with NASA since 1983; his work included supporting research endeavors in many areas at both the experimental and the analytical levels. He has been engaged in many critical research projects related to aerospace and aeronautics applications. He worked both on the analysis and design of critical metallic and fiber composite structural components via computational methods. His background is in structural engineering and thermal sciences with high interest in finite element, NDE, fatigue, and fracture and composite materials. His research here at NASA Glenn has covered a wide range of technical subjects related to supporting major programs such as “Health Monitoring of the SPACE Shuttle Main Engine” , “High Speed Civil Transport Program”, “High Temperature Materials for Gas Turbine Engines”, “Aviation Safety”, “Striling Engine Technology” and many others. Currently, he supports the Optical and Instrumentation Technology Branch research activities in the areas of Non Destructive Evaluation (NDE) and Image Processing and Volume Rendering techniques. Current efforts have led to the developments of an analytical approach that integrated NDE related data with the analytical method of finite element to evaluate the performance and durability of various structural aerospace components.
Dr. Abdul- Aziz is a licensed Professional Engineer in the State of Ohio and a member of several professional organizations. He has received numerous awards from NASA, the American Society for Nondestructive Testing, The International Society for Optical Engineering etc…. He has authored/co-authored more than 90 technical articles that have been published in scientific journals, conference proceedings and as peer-reviewed NASA Technical memoranda. He also offered numerous invited lectures and presentations at several local colleges and international conferences.
