Dr. John A. Moore joined Marquette University in 2018 as an Assistant Professor in the Department of Mechanical Engineering. He graduated from the University of Washington with a bachelor’s degree in aeronautical and astronautical engineering and master’s degree in civil engineering. He was then employed as a structural analyst for Aerojet Rocketdyne working on NASA’s Orion program. Dr. Moore received his Ph.D. in mechanical engineering from Northwestern University in 2015 where he was a Predictive Science and Engineering Design Fellow. This was followed by work as a post-doctorate researcher and staff engineer/scientist at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory where he focused on additive manufactured materials and ductile failure under extreme loads. He has collaborated with partners such as Goodyear Tire, Northwestern University’s Feinberg School of Medicine, Deublin Company, and QuesTek Innovations. Dr. Moore’s work strives to better understand and improve engineering materials through computational modeling and to use this understanding to reduce heuristics and trial-and-error in engineering design. His work links topics in computational mechanics, materials science, engineering design, and high performance computing and has been applied to a broad range of problems in alloys, polymers, and biomedical devices.
