Abby is a final-year CDT PhD student at the Whittle Laboratory and a 2021 Amelia Earhart Fellow. This recognises her as one of thirty-five women globally producing outstanding research in aerospace. As part of her PhD, she has developed a unique experimental process to manufacture and aerodynamically test engine-representative roughness in-house. This new capability earned her the faculty-nominated Freeman Award. Abby plans to continue her career in academia where she can provide mentorship to a new generation of aerospace engineers. She believes sustainability is the next frontier in innovation and hopes to encourage diverse and creative thinking in this arena.
