It is our honor to announce one of our very own, Ryan Leo, has been named a 2024 AIAA - The American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics Associate Fellow. Associate Fellows are "persons who have accomplished or been in charge of important engineering or scientific work, or who have done work of outstanding merit or have otherwise made outstanding contributions to the arts, sciences, or technology of aeronautics or astronautics," and that could not better describe Ryan and his dedication to our mission.
We'd like to share a part of his nomination that we feel truly highlights Ryan's impressive work for us and our parent company Leidos:
"Over the course of his 20-year career, Mr. Leo has garnered extensive technology development experience from concept development through flight test and delivery of operational systems. His efforts have already made meaningful, long-lasting contributions across the aerospace body of knowledge, impacting not only human-rated spaceflight hardware, but also hypersonic technologies key to our nation’s defense. Mr. Leo is foremost an innovator. He has coordinated and led systems engineering (SE) integration across multi-disciplinary technical teams in numerous fields, including advanced propulsion technologies, controlled aerodynamic flight, Agile software development for autonomous flight, thermal management and structural/seal design, and affordable manufacturing techniques. He is a skilled collaborator, and nowhere is this more evident than in his approach to SE. He has led SE efforts across multiple organizations and teams to develop and integrate a broad range of technologies for customers including Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA), Office of the Secretary of Defense (OSD), Air Force Research Laboratory (AFRL), Office of Naval Research (ONR), Army, Missile Defense Agency (MDA), and NASA."
Congratulations to Ryan and all other inductees!
