Marc Mignolet

Marc Mignolet is a Professor of Aerospace and Mechanical Engineering and serves as the Graduate Program Chair in the School for Engineering of Matter, Transport and Energy at Arizona State University (ASU). He is affiliated with the Ira A. Fulton Schools of Engineering. His research focuses on structural dynamics, vibrations, and stochastic multiscale analyses, with applications to aerospace systems and composite materials.

Education:

• Ph.D. in Aerospace Engineering from Rice University (1987)

Research Interests:

• Modeling of uncertainty in structural systems
• Nonlinear damping and aerodynamic interactions
• Reduced-order modeling for complex systems
• Thermoelastic dynamics under extreme environments

This work addresses challenges in aerospace structures, including flutter prediction, fatigue life assessment, and hypersonic vehicle dynamics.

Grants & Projects (selected):

• Unified Framework for Multi-Physics Systems (2015–2019)
• Nonlinear Damping Modeling for Aircraft (2014–2015)
• Thermoelastic Reduced Order Models (2013–2014)
• Multiscale Reduced Order Modeling (2010–2013)

These projects involve collaborations with institutions like Sandia National Laboratory, ZONA Technology, and NASA.

Teaching: Courses include Vibration Analysis (AEE 415/MAE 514), Dynamics and Vibrations (MAE 510), and special topics in aerospace engineering.
