Alyssa Avery

Alyssa Avery, Ph.D., is an Adjunct Professor in the Department of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering at Oklahoma State University. She holds a Ph.D. (2019), M.S. (2015), and B.S. (2013) in Aerospace Engineering from Oklahoma State University. Her research focuses on icing simulations for small unmanned aircraft (UAS), sensor design for UAS, and low-altitude cloud physics investigations. She has contributed to field campaigns like CLOUD-MAP and severe weather research using UAS platforms.

Her publications span icing prediction models, cylinder ice accretion studies, and UAS design for extreme environments. Research collaborations include work with the American Meteorological Society (AMS) and the AIAA Aviation Forum. No scientific awards are listed, but her work emphasizes interdisciplinary applications of aerospace engineering principles to climate and safety challenges.

Though no student advisees are explicitly listed, her research teams likely involve graduate students in aerospace engineering. Her work reflects a strong focus on practical applications of theoretical fluid dynamics and atmospheric physics, particularly in unmanned systems development.
