MAD Center: Industry Members

We have established an Industrial Advisory Board composed of companies involved in advanced vehicle design. Membership includes representatives from different aerospace companies, ship design companies, and major automobile makers. In addition, we have enlisted five NASA representatives for the board. Besides advisory board members, there are a number of observers who attended our annual advisory board meetings.
For further details about the Advisory Board contact Prof. Rakesh Kapania at (540) 231-6611.
