ABOUT JOHN BABISH

Team-oriented Structural Analysis Engineer with an advanced degree and extensive experience in software development, structural testing, data analysis, and model generation. Combining a strong technical background with excellent communication and team leadership skills to drive high performance results while managing schedule and budget objectives. Highly successful track record of achieving goals and overcoming obstacles in structural flight and ground test, data analysis, software development, vibration analysis, technical reports, and model correlation.As lead engineer in the area, provided critical support in all phases of the team\'s aeroservoelastic analysis, which involves the interaction of the structure, aerodynamic forces, and the airplane control laws. Spearheaded the implementation of a new correlation method which reduced overall analysis cycle time by a factor of eight. Identified and eliminated inefficiencies to improve speed and accuracy of Matlab analytical codes which led to 50% reduction in individual analysis run time. Solved a numerical instability in the analysis which resulted in an 80% reduction in post-analysis review time. Created framework for Oracle database and developed Matlab and SQL codes to manage and summarize results of millions of analysis runs. Developed proposed changes to the aircraft control laws to mitigate risks identified in the analysis.Oversaw final analysis of all flutter flight test data using LabVIEW executables to ensure safe and efficient flight envelope expansion. Modified LabVIEW codes to add new capabilities and increase efficiencies. As an example, changes to the hardcopy software resulted in a 90% reduction in time required to print test results. Main author of flutter flight test technical reports.Lead LabVIEW software developer, test support engineer, and post-test data analyst for structural influence coefficient testing.
