Born and raised in the state of Queensland, Australia, Dr. Chris Goyne obtained his Bachelor of Mechanical Engineering and PhD from the University of Queensland in 1991 and 1999, respectively. In the course of his PhD research, Dr. Goyne specialized in high speed aerodynamics, high speed airbreathing propulsion and instrumentation development. Upon completion of his graduate studies, Dr. Goyne joined the Department of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering at the University of Virginia as a Research Associate. Here Dr. Goyne conducted research in hypersonic propulsion using the University of Virginia's unique Supersonic Combustion Facility. This work was funded by NASA's Hyper-X Program. Dr. Goyne briefly returned to the University of Queensland to participate in the HyShot scramjet flight test program before joining the research professional staff at UVa as a Research Scientist. Now a Research Assistant Professor and Director of the Aerospace Research Laboratory at the University of Virginia, Dr. Goyne continues his work in hypersonic airbreathing propulsion and instrumentation and diagnostic development.
The University of Queensland awarded Dr. Goyne the Australian Postgraduate Research Award and the James Dowrie Academic Prize in 1992 and 1990, respectively. In 2006 he was awarded the Outstanding Aerospace Professor Award by Sigma Gamma Tau at the University of Virginia. Dr. Goyne is a senior member of the American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics and within this organization is currently Chair of the Hypersonic Technology and Aerospace Plane Program Committee and is also a member of the Aerodynamic Measurement Technology Technical Committee. He is additionally a member of the American Society of Mechanical Engineers. Dr. Goyne has reviewed numerous manuscripts for the AIAA Journal, the Journal of Propulsion and Power and the Journal of Aircraft and has chaired various sessions at international aerospace conferences. Dr. Goyne has published and presented his research through more than 35 international journal articles, books, conference publications, patents and reports.
