David Gross

Welcome! I am an adjunct professor teaching courses in systems engineering, iIndustrial engineering technology, and software engineering.

My "day" job is as the Deputy Chief Engineer for Lockheed Martin's aeronautics simulation and system integration labs. I am a Fellow of the Lockheed Martin company. Prior to starting with Lockheed in 2009, I worked for 24 years at the Boeing Company, where I was also recognized as a Fellow.

Selected Pubications:

Published more than forty journal and conference papers on software engineering and simulation systems.
