Brought to you by Grenadian STEAM, this is a podcast chronicling the journeys of West Indian professionals navigating careers in STEAM, both at home and in the diaspora. By taking a deep dive through the individual journeys of these profesionals - discussing their failures, their successes and their moments of learning - we hope to expose interested listeners to the depth and wonder that is a career in STEAM. It is also our goal to make such conversations accessible to the larger community of students and rising professionals in Grenada, Carriacou and Petite Martinique.

47. Finding “Flow”: Career Pivots And Mentorship In Aerospace Engineering, with Dr. Liselle Joseph
That shaking you feel when you’re on a plane and it experiences turbulence? Or the forces at play when a spaceship re enters the earth’s atmosphere? Both are caused by very similar phenomena, and today’s guest has studied its causes and effects inside and out.
Not into engineering or mechanics? She also knows quite a bit about how to find and keep a mentor, if you’re curious about that kind of thing :)
Known in some spaces as the first woman from the OECS to attain a PhD in Aerospace Engineering, Professor Liselle Joseph is currently an Assistant Professor with dual appointments with Virginia Tech’s Aerospace & Ocean Engineering department and National Security Institute. Her research focuses on hypersonic phenomenology using both experimental techniques and high-fidelity CFD. Before joining VT’s faculty, Dr. Joseph worked in industry, gaining invaluable research into current real-world engineering standards and methodologies, current needs and landscape of the community, as well as industry expectations for new graduates. Her most recent industry work involved a range of developments and research within the hypersonic flow-field. Prior to 2020, Dr. Joseph developed new compression system technologies for both commercial and military applications at Pratt and Whitney.
Dr. Liselle’s varying experiences in her field adds lots of colour and practical advice to this discussion. We hope you enjoy the journey on today's Pathway!
