Ellen Meeks, V. P. of Product Development, leads Reaction Design’s Product Development team and the strategic partnering with Computational Fluid Dynamics companies in the development of joint products that embed CHEMKIN capabilities into complex fluid-flow simulation. She has shepherded more than a dozen major software releases and managed numerous multi-million dollar programs. Prior to joining Reaction Design, Meeks was a principal member of the technical staff at Sandia National Laboratories. During 10 years at Sandia, she performed research and development in thermal analysis, combustion, chemical vapor deposition, and plasma etching. She was a principal developer of the third-generation CHEMKIN software package, and authored the well mixed plasma application program. She was a key contributor to several SEMATECH-sponsored projects at Sandia that resulted in the development, validation, and reduction of chemistry mechanisms for use in CHEMKIN-based applications. Her publications include numerous referenced journal articles, a book chapter, and Sandia Laboratory reports, and she holds two patents on reactor technology. She received her B.S. degree in engineering from Swarthmore College, an M.S. in Mechanical Engineering from Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, and a Ph.D. from Stanford University in the High Temperature Gas Dynamics Laboratory of the Mechanical Engineering Department. |
