NASA Selects Jaiwon Shin to Head Aeronautics Research
Jaiwon Shin has been named as NASA's associate administrator for the
Aeronautics Research Mission Directorate in Washington.
As the associate administrator, Shin will be responsible for managing
the agency's aeronautics research portfolio and guiding its strategic
direction. This portfolio includes research in the fundamental
aeronautics of flight, aviation safety and the nation's airspace
system. Prior to this appointment, Shin served as the deputy associate
administrator for aeronautics.
"Jaiwon brings expert knowledge of aeronautics and technology to a
critical position at NASA," NASA Administrator Michael Griffin says.
"He's helped develop the aeronautics research roadmap for the 21st
century. His leadership of the directorate will assure our continued
recognition as the world's premiere aeronautics research
organization."
Before coming to NASA headquarters in 2004, Shin served as chief of
the aeronautics projects office at NASA's Glenn Research Center in
Cleveland. In this position, he had management responsibility for all
aeronautics projects managed at the center. Prior to that, he was the
deputy director of aeronautics at the center, providing executive
leadership for the planning and implementation of the aeronautics
program at Glenn.
"I am honored to have been chosen for this position and look forward
to building on the strong foundation that my predecessor, Lisa Porter,
established for NASA aeronautics," Shin says. "NASA's aeronautics
programs develop the concepts, tools, methods and technologies that
address many of the challenges faced by our nation in air traffic
management, safety and the environment. We will continue our
commitment to meet these challenges through technical excellence,
integrity and strong partnerships with other government agencies,
industry and academia."
