DR. DAVID J. MOORHOUSE

Dr. David J. Moorhouse, a member of the scientific and professional cadre of senior executives, is Senior Scientist for Multidisciplinary Technologies, Air Vehicles Directorate, Air Force Research Laboratory, Air Force Materiel Command, Wright-Patterson AFB, Ohio. He directs and performs research and development activities at the Center of Multidisciplinary Technologies. His primary responsibility is the transition of results from basic research into technology integration and optimization to the aerospace industry.

Dr. Moorhouse spent 11 years in private industry on a variety of design projects. He joined the Flight Dynamics Laboratory in 1971 as an aerospace research engineer in the Flight Controls Division. Through his technical activities at the AFRL and its predecessors, he has made contributions ranging from basic research to flight demonstration of technologies for system improvements. As Chief Engineer of the Short Takeoff and Landing and Maneuver Technology Demonstration program, he directed all the technical aspects of this unique program that received the Aviation Week Laureate Award. The special landing control laws developed under his leadership set new standards for precision touchdown, and he was awarded the Air Force Systems Command Scientific Achievement Award for this work. He is personally leading the Air Force Office of Scientific Research-funded Energy-Based Design Methods program, which considers any vehicle as a device to do work as efficiently as possible. Dr. Moorhouse has led national and international workshops in the development of these theories into methods for the design and optimization of complete vehicles.

During his career, Dr. Moorhouse has authored or co-authored more than 70 journal articles, papers and technical reports, and made many guest lectures. He has served on numerous review committees and advisory boards.
