Hanson Huang received the Ph.D. degree in mechanical engineering from the Carnegie Institute of Technology, Pittsburgh, PA, in 1965.He is currently a Senior Scientist in the Undersea Warhead Technology and Development Directorate of the Naval Surface Warfare Center, Indian Head Division, White Oak, Silver Spring, MD. He has been with NSWC since 1983, serving as task leader for undersea warhead technology R&D projects and currently performing and directing research associated with warhead lethality against current and future targets. From 1972 to 1983, he was a research physicist at the Naval Research Laboratory and performed research in combat survivability and vulnerability of advanced submarines in conventional and nuclear attack scenarios, submarine double-hull lethality, nonlinear media-structure interaction, and submarine target strength analysis. From 1965 to 1972, he was a mechanical engineer at the then David Taylor Research Center, Annapolis Laboratory, and performed research in establishing analytical techniques for analyzing problems related to static, shock, vibration, and acoustic radiation of submarine, hydrofoil craft, and mine countermeasure vehicle hull structures and equipments. He has also been a part-time Lecturer at the School of Engineering, University of Maryland, College Park, in 1978 ad 1979. He has authored and co-authored over 100 journal articles and conference presentations and currently is also an active reviewer for various journals.
