Instructors
Mr. Chris Eastland
is a Design Engineer for the Boeing Commercial Airplane Group. He has worked on the design of the 787 composite wing skins and derivative redesign of the 777 composite empennage. Previously he worked on large composite material allowables programs as a test engineer for Intec and also as a research analyst for composite structures for General Dynamic's commercial space vehicles. He received his Master's degree in Aeronautics and Astronautics from the University of Washington in 1988, and a Bachelor's degree in Engineering Science from Cambridge University in 1986.Mr. Michael Richey
is currently a Program Manager, assigned to support Strategic Relationships (University-College) within the Boeing Company's Learning Training and Development, Engineering and Operations organization. Michael is responsible for establishing educational partnerships that will leverage knowledge in Advanced Materials, Product Lifecycle Management and global teaming. He has worked as an industry-engineering consultant for 20 years on a number of programs: C17 Globe Master, B2, F18-E/F, as well as 777 Tooling Wing Majors and 767 Freighters. He often represents Boeing internationally and domestically as a presenter and has published many papers relating to advanced aircraft concepts and PLM-CAD-CAM metrology integration and educational issues.Mr. Lothar Briones
currently works in the training organization of the Boeing Company. He supports 787 design and manufacturing engineers with composite tools and processes using CATIA, ENOVIA & DELMIA. In 2004, he received his Master's degree in Composites Manufacturing at the University of Montreal. His previous work involves research and development in aircraft manufacturing processes.Mr. Gerald Mabson
is a Structural Analyst at the Boeing Company with over 25 years of structures experience. He specializes in advanced composite materials but also has experience in multidisciplinary analysis, optimization, and cost models for composites. Gerald has authored numerous technical publications related to composite structures. He has worked on a number of research, development and production programs within various parts of Boeing, including the 7E7, Sonic Cruiser, Composites Affordability Initiative, 767-400, NASA/Boeing Advanced Technology Composite Aircraft Structures (ATCAS) program, and the V-22 Osprey. Currently he is primarily supporting the 7E7 program in various capacities related to composite material stress analysis. Mr. Mabson received his Master's of Applied Science in Aerospace Science and Engineering from the University of Toronto, specializing in composite material structures.Dr. David D. Swartz
is currently an affiliate Associate Professor in the Department of Aeronautics and Astronautics at the University of Washington, and Senior Engineer at the Anchorage Aircraft Certification Office of the FAA. He was the FAA project engineer in charge of the certification of the Lancair all-composite general aviation airplane as well as being a technical specialist in Composites for the FAA. He was involved in the accident investigation of the American Airlines Flight 587 failure of the vertical tail and participated in numerous other failure investigations in both composites and metals. Dr. Swartz was awarded his PhD in fatigue and material science from the University of Utah in 1997.Dr. Kuen Lin
is a Professor in the Department of Aeronautics and Astronautics at the University of Washington. He is a Co-Director of the FAA Center of Excellence for Advanced Materials at UW. Dr. Lin obtained his Masters and Ph.D. degrees in the field of Aeronautical Structures and Composite Materials from Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Dr. Lin has over 30 years of research and development experience in advanced composite materials and structures. In addition to his research endeavors, Dr. Lin has concentrated his teaching on the subjects of mechanics of composite materials, foundation of solid mechanics, and finite element methods.Questions
