Kevin Cowan is a professor at the Delft University of Technology. He graduated in aerospace engineering at the University of Texas at Austin and Delft University of Technology, with a focus on spaceflight and orbital mechanics.
He then worked as a research engineer at Applied Research Laboratories of the University of Texas at Austin. Subsequently, he pursued an MBA in international management at the Thunderbird School of Global Management. We talk about how his particular background is serving him in his academic life, we touch on the nature of scientific research and the power and limitations of the scientific method, the responsibilities of academics in society, and finally the influence of Artificial Intelligence in Space Engineering.
This project was initiated in the context of the Stardust Reloaded H2020 research network.
