My name is Joe Jewell. I'm an assistant
professor of Aeronautics and
Astronautics here at Purdue University. I
came from Wright-Patterson Air Force
Base where I worked for six years at the
Air Force Research Laboratory as a
research scientist. I did my bachelor's
degree in aeronautics and medieval
history at the California Institute of
Technology and from there went to the
University of Michigan Ann Arbor where I
did a master's degree in aerospace
engineering before I was selected as a
Rhodes Scholar and spent three years at
the University of Oxford studying
engineering science in a hypersonic
research laboratory. From there I
returned to the California Institute of
Technology
where I did my PhD in aeronautics
graduating in 2014. I study hypersonic
aerothermodynamics in a Mach 6 wind
tunnel here at Purdue.
