Dr.Baker's expertise is in application of computer methods to structural dynamics and continuum mechanics with particular experience in satellite system engineering, launch vehicle and road vehicle dynamics, and simulation and testing of electronic equipment and consumer products for shock and vibration environments.
Dr. Baker brings 30 years of experience in project engineering to the ATA team. Prior to formation of ATA, Mary served as Vice President and General Manager of SDRC's Advanced Test and Analysis Division and guided this group for most of its 24-year history.
Significant projects include dynamic analysis, testing, and design during the development of an upper stage engine with an extendible nozzle; modeling and simulation of many aspects of liquid rocket components including turbo-pump thermal and vibration issues; design of communications shelters for mobility and transport; integration of multidisciplinary simulations tools particularly for spacecraft; and mechanical engineering of medical products.
Dr. Baker earned her Ph.D. and M.S. in Applied Mechanics from the California Institute of Technology. She received her B.S. from the University of Wisconsin in Engineering Mechanics. She is a licensed professional engineer in the state of California. |
