About Richard Kennedy
I’m a hands-on technical leader with over a decade of experience turning state-of-the-art research into scalable, cloud-based software solutions. My career spans defense, aerospace, and startup environments, where I’ve led multidisciplinary teams to develop AI and machine learning powered products, sensor fusion algorithms, and intelligent signal processing systems. I’m passionate about bridging the gap between research and real-world application to deliver technologies that drive measurable impact for end users.Before moving into industry, I earned my Ph.D. in Aerospace Engineering from the University of Maryland, where I led experimental research campaigns focused on advancing hypersonic flow measurement techniques in collaboration with national and international organizations including the Air Force Research Laboratory, NASA Langley, and JAXA. The work produced multiple first-author journal papers and conference presentations.Google Scholar : & hl=en
