Ty Marien

Title: Senior Aircraft Systems Analyst

Technical Focus Area: Subsonic Transport Aircraft

Missions/Projects: Advanced Air Transport Technology Project (AATT)

Study Topics/Expertise: Systems Analysis, Aircraft Conceptual Design, Mission Analysis, Passenger Demand Modeling, Transportation Systems Modeling

Ty started his career at NASA Langley in 1989 as a cooperative education student from Purdue University. One of his stops as a co-op was the Vehicle Integration Branch (VIB), now named the Aeronautics Systems Analysis Branch (ASAB). After graduation in 1992, Ty accepted a permanent position in VIB as an aircraft systems analysis.

In 2000, Ty left NASA and accepted a position with Symantec Corporation as a software quality assurance engineer. In 2006, Symantec closed its Newport News office and Ty left the company to join Northrop Grumman as an IT Systems Engineer. In 2009, he was rehired by NASA Langley and ended up right back where he started in ASAB (humbled but still grateful for the journey).

As an aircraft systems analyst, Ty has worked on projects focused on aircraft/airport operations, community noise predictions, passenger demand modeling, transportation systems concepts, and advanced subsonic transport concepts.
