Jean and Dave Surry

The speakers have spent their working careers as engineers, after studying Mathematics, Physics and Chemistry (Jean) and Engineering Physics (Dave). Both were trained as aeronautical research engineers with a drive to solve real-world problems by understanding "how things work", ie the physics of the problems. Jean has spent her career largely in industry, in aeronautics and hydroacoustics with diversions into traffiic, industrial safety and community volunteering. Dave has spent his career bridging academic teaching and research with industrial applications of wind engineering at Western's Boundary Layer Wind Tunnel Laboratory.

In the talk, we'll expand upon interesting problems that have arisen over the course of these two careers.
