Reed has ; ; years of experience in physics-based
understanding of the receptivity; stability and transition of boundary layers; enabling
for high-altitude long-endurance unmanned vehicles; transports; and hypersonic
trans-atmospheric vehicles. As lead computationalist; she has teamed with experimentalists
throughout her career to achieve closure between theory and experiment;
mature drag-reducing technologies; and advance modeling for ; -D configurations.
In parallel; over the past 2; years she has pioneered important contributions to engineering
education through her small-satellite design; build; fly programs; first at
Arizona State ;AS- Sat Lab; and then at Texas A; M ;AggieSat Lab;. Her programs
are rigorous in pro;ect management and systems engineering; and her students must
develop; design and build as much of the pro;ect as possible from scratch. Reed and
her students have completed four ma;or missions and teamed on two others; all
launched. Of further note; her Three Corner Sat team was selected as the first winner
of the - niversity Nanosat Program; established in 1; ; ; by the Air Force Research
Laboratory and the Air Force Office of Scientific Research.
Reed has delivered many invited talks and lectures. She served as associate editor
of the !nn?al !/!3/A 90 !l?3. ! /-2an3-!;1; ; ; –2000;; and she was the originator ;in

Society;s ;APS; Division of Fluid Dynamics.
An ASME Fellow; Reed was a member ;1; ; ; –; ; ; of the Applied Mechanics Division;s
;AMD; Fluid Mechanics Technical Committee and served as chair ;1; ; ; –; ; ;.
She was vice chair ;1; ; ; –; ; ; and chair ;1; ; ; –; ; ; of AMD;s ;unior Awards Committee;
and was the Society;s AMD liaison ;1; ; ; –; ; ; on the American Institute of Aeronautics
and Astronautics; ;AIAA; Technical Committee on Fluid Dynamics.
Reed is also a Fellow of AIAA and APS; and a member of the American Astronautical
Society; the American Society for Engineering Education ;ASEE; and the - nited
States ; eospatial Intelligence Foundation. Since 201; Reed has been leading a subgroup
for NATO;s Technical Team ;A. T ET 1; ; ; for Hypersonic ; oundary Layer
Transition Prediction; and serving as chair of the AIAA Transition Discussion ; roup.
She has been a consultant to the Institute for Defense Analysis since 201; ; and has been
serving on the National Academies; Intelligence Science and Technology Experts
; roup since 2015. Previously she served on the National Academies; Aeronautics and
Space Engineering ; oard ;2011–15;; and; from 1; ; ; to 2001; she served on various
