A little background
Andrew is currently a Lead Engineer of Combustion Aerodynamics at GE Aerospace where he supports the design, development, and validation of hydrogen fuel on aeroderivative gas turbine combustion systems. GE is committed to the development of Sustainable Aviation Fuels (SAFs), including hydrogen-powered gas turbine engines. Andrew is proud to be a part of this industry-leading work, and has a long history of developing carbon-neutral and carbon-free fuels and combsution systems, from thermochemically converted fuel-precursors derived from agricultural waste, to solid fuels produced from fecal material in Rwanda.
Andrew is a strong advocate for the environment, and his professional passions include renewable energy, aviation, and international development. Andrew served in the Peace Corps in South Africa as an education volunteer where he taught middle-school math and science, developed after-school woodworking projects, and rehabilitated disused boreholes for drinking water.
Andrew graduated from Rose-Hulman Institute of Technology with a B.S. in Mechanical Engineering (2011), from Tufts University with an M.S. in Mechanical Engineering (2015), and from Cornell University with a Ph.D. in Bioenergy and Integrated Energy Systems (2022).
