Bio

Dr. Jason Cornelius is an aerospace engineer in the Aeromechanics Office at NASA Ames Research Center. His research interests are at the intersection of high-performance GPU computing and machine learning towards aerospace vehicle design optimization. Jason has supported the NASA Dragonfly New Frontiers Mission since its inception in 2016, focusing on the rotor aerodynamic and structural design. He is now PI for the Digital Transformation Prototype Project, “Multi-fidelity ML-based Surrogate Models for Terrestrial and Planetary Aerial Vehicles” and the NASA ARC Center Innovation Fund project, “Surrogate-based Design Optimization for a Long-Range Mars Rotorcraft.” Dr. Cornelius received his PhD from the Pennsylvania State University as a National Science Foundation Graduate Research Fellow. He received the 2023 AIAA Young Professional of the Year Award and has received best paper awards for his work in machine-learning rotor aerodynamic design optimization.

Outside of work, Jason has spent considerable time in both Russia and China, where he learned new languages and explored different cultures. His main goal is to build strong teams to solve some of the world's toughest engineering problems.
