Summary
Cory Rupp is a technical director and engineering software leader with a decade of experience applying structural dynamics, topology optimization, and hardware-aware algorithm design to real-world engineering problems. At ATA Engineering he directs software strategy and leads cross-disciplinary teams that bridge structural analysis, robotics/controls, and lab/field testing workflows. His background includes a PhD in mechanical engineering and NSF-supported research developing topology-optimized elastic waveguides and piezoelectric systems, giving him deep domain expertise in wave propagation and vibroacoustics. Known for turning advanced numerical methods into production tools, he pairs hands-on hardware programming with high-level architecture and staff development. Colleagues rely on him to translate complex multiphysics challenges into practical, testable software and experimental programs.
