Dr. Sutliff has 40 years of experience in Aeronautics and Acoustics in industry, academia, and government research. He obtained his Bachelor of Science degree from the University of Cincinnati, Master’s degree from University of Tennessee, and his Ph.D. from North Carolina State University; all in Aerospace Engineering. His particular expertise is in the area of experimental acoustic measurements and analysis. He joined the NASA Glenn Research Center’s Acoustics Branch in 1995, where he has developed several measurement techniques for diagnosing and solving aero-acoustic problems. Dr. Sutliff advocates, manages, and conducts noise reduction research programs for improving GRC internal capability and understanding noise generation mechanisms, noise reduction concepts, and advanced measurement techniques over a range of test articles – from low complexity experimental fans to full-scale turbofan engines.
