She received her Bachelors in Aerospace
Engineering 1982, Masters in Aerospace
Engineering 1985, and PhD in Aerospace
Engineering in 1994 all from the Georgia Institute
of Technology.[2]
Career

Notable Awards AHS Technical
Fellow, Augusta Westland
International Fellowship award
Prior to becoming a professor, she worked for
Lockheed Martin from 1982-1988 as a Senior
Flight Test Engineer and an Associate Scientist.
She worked at Boeing-Mesa, from 1988-1990 as a
member of technical staff. She was also a
Research Engineer at Georgia Tech’s Research
Institute from 1990-1997. She has been a professor of
Aerospace Engineering at Georgia Tech since 1997.

Awards and Honors
She won the Technical Fellow award from AHS this past May. [1] The technical
fellow is an honor reserved for AHS members whose careers have improved the
technical capabilities of the vertical flight industry. [3] Prior to the Technical Fellow
Honor she received this year; she received two Augusta Westland International
Fellowship awards [1], which are given for significant contributions to international
vertical flight cooperation [3]. She won the first AW award in 2012 as a member of
the HART II (Higher harmonic control Aeroacoustics Rotor Test) International
Workshop Team and the second AW award in 2014 for playing a part in the
US/France Project Agreement on Helicopter Aeromechanics and Human Factors
Integration Research.[1]
Dr. Smith’s dedication to Georgia Tech has been recognized multiple times. In
1999, she won the GIT Women's Leadership Conference Outstanding Faculty
Member Award. In 2004 she won the GIT Women in Engineering Outstanding
Faculty Member Award. In 2006, she won the GIT Women in Engineering Faculty
Mentoring Excellence Award. Lastly, she won the outstanding alumna award
from the Georgia Tech Women’s Leadership Conference in October of 2014 [2].
Two of her recent papers were recognized and awarded at the 71st AHS Forum
in the categories of Aerodynamics and Systems Integration Directorate, Modeling
& Simulation. The papers that won were entitled “Collaborative Investigation of
the Aerodynamic Behavior of Airfoils in Reverse Flow,” and “Physics-Based
Aerodynamic Simulation Models Suitable for Dynamic Behavior of Complex Bluff
Body Configurations.” [1]
