Kuang-Ying “Eddie” Ting

University of Washington · NASA CST

Eddie is a Ph.D. candidate in Aeronautics and Astronautics at the University of Washington, where his research bridges flight science, control theory, and machine learning. His SCALOS project — sponsored by NASA’s Commercial Supersonic Technology program — examines how supersonic transport airframe configurations behave during takeoff, approach, and landing. Testing was conducted at UW’s Kirsten Wind Tunnel, and the findings have direct implications for the next generation of commercial supersonic aircraft.

Neno Novakovic

Collins Aerospace · PE, Adjunct Prof. UW

With over 30 years of international experience spanning Boeing, Airbus, Bombardier, Dassault, and more, Neno is a registered Professional Engineer in Washington and an adjunct professor at UW. He holds U.S. and EU patents in aircraft electrical systems. His talk addresses a critical safety challenge in modern aviation: how to safely transfer power between multiple variable-frequency AC generators operating at different frequencies and phase angles on a shared aircraft power bus — a growing priority as aircraft electrical systems grow ever more complex.

Dr. Andrei Evulet

Jetoptera · Co-founder, CEO & CTO · TEDx Speaker

Andrei is the co-founder and CEO/CTO of Jetoptera, a Seattle-based propulsion and aerial mobility startup. A Ph.D. in Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering from Rutgers and a former GE9X Technology Maturation Leader at GE Aviation, Andrei brings deep engineering pedigree to his vision of making aerial mobility commonplace. His talk will showcase Jetoptera’s proprietary Fluidic Propulsive System™ — a distributed propulsion architecture that enables V/STOL aircraft with superior speed, range, payload, and efficiency compared to traditional rotor-based designs.
