In celebration of Women's History Month, the Department of Aerospace Engineering is highlighting some of our talented faculty and alumni through a series of stories and Q&As to share their journeys and their advice for aspiring aerospace engineers. As an assistant professor in Aerospace Engineering at Maryland, and a member of the Alfred Gessow Rotorcraft Center, Chloe Johnson is advancing the future of VTOL aeromechanics through experimental research. Her work explores aerodynamic interactions in complex rotorcraft systems, utilizing cutting-edge techniques such as PIV and aeroacoustic pressure measurements. With a Ph.D. from the University of Texas at Austin and experience at the Naval Surface Warfare Center, Johnson is shaping the next generation of rotorcraft innovation. Inspired by passionate STEM teachers and the thrill of real-world experimental work, she encourages students to embrace curiosity and explore beyond the classroom. With strong mentors and a supportive community, she has built a career at the forefront of rotorcraft research—now giving back as a professor. #UMDEngineering #womeninaerospace #aerospaceengineering #womeninengineering #WomensHistoryMonth #Aerospace #Rotorcraft #womeninSTEM
