Engineering alumnus Nathan Horn (Bachelor of Science in Engineering 2002, Master of Science in mechanical engineering 2004) will be the guest presenter at the Mechanical and Industrial Engineering “Grabbing the Globe” seminar April 24.
Nathan Horn
The seminar will be from 3:30 to 4:20 p.m. in 101 Becker Communications Studies Building.
Horn is a vehicle dynamics engineering group leader at Target Chip Ganassi Racing with Felix Sabates, and will speak on "Computer Aided Engineering in Racing." His area of focus is vehicle modeling and analysis. Horn helps develop simulations for use by race, performance, vehicle dynamics, and design engineers.
The majority of his time is devoted to using various pieces of software to develop simulations. His specialties include creating kinematic models of mechanisms and vehicle dynamics simulations; validating and trouble-shooting solid mechanics simulations using physical data; and developing simulation methods for other nonstandard components. Prior to his time at Target Chip Ganassi Racing, Horn worked for Red Bull Racing, Spirit AeroSystems and Boeing.
The "Grabbing the Globe" seminar series recognizes the late UI Distinguished Engineering Alumni Academy member Randall Meyer (BS 1948 with highest distinction in mechanical engineering) and his wife, Barbara.
