Paul Reverdy
-
Assistant Professor of Aerospace and Mechanical Engineering
Paul Reverdy received the B.S. degree in engineering physics and the B.A. degree in applied mathematics from the University of California, Berkeley, Berkeley, CA, USA, in 2007 and the M.A. and Ph.D degrees in mechanical and aerospace engineering from Princeton University, Princeton, NJ, USA, in 2011 and 2014, respectively. From 2007 to 2009, he worked as a Research Assistant at the Federal Reserve Board of Governors, Washington, DC, USA. From 2014-17 he was a Postdoctoral Fellow with the Department of Electrical and Systems Engineering, University of Pennsylvania, Philadelphia, PA, USA, before joining the University of Arizona in 2018.
