Biographical Sketch
Dr. Landon Onyebueke is a Professor and the Interim Chair of the Department of Mechanical and Manufacturing Engineering at Tennessee State University (TSU). He is also the Director of the Design Methodologies Laboratory at TSU. His research and publications are in the areas of Modeling and Simulation, Design Methodologies including Probabilistic and Axiomatic Design Methods, Engineering Systems Design and Analysis, and Characterization of the Mechanical Properties of Nanomaterials. He has supervised several Ph.D., graduate and undergraduate projects.
He was a PI on a funded project from the US Navy to conceptualize, design and manufacture an umbilical retract mechanism. A device used in Navy submarines for retracting umbilical plugs from missiles when launched. He received the distinguished researcher award from the Tennessee State University (TSU) office of sponsored research in 2001. He received research funding as PI from the Boeing company for eighteen consecutive years. One of the research projects he worked on resulted in a joint U.S. patent between Boeing and TSU (US Patent no. US 6,947,875 B2) and is titled “Apparatus and Method for Virtual Accommodation”. His most recent accomplishment was the development of a “Seat Comfort Design Tool” for the design of airplane seats, ejection seats and office chairs. The project was funded by the Boeing Company. He also received funding from AFRL for research in energy harvesting and storage systems. His current research is titled “Partnership for Research and Education Consortium in Ceramics and Polymers” and is funded by DOE/NNSA. The current funding involves research in piezoelectric materials, ionic liquids, and additive manufacturing. He has received recognition awards from NASA, US Navy, Boeing Company, TSU etc. He is a Boeing Welliver Fellow.
