About
Dr. Patrick Lynn’s research career is defined by a unique fusion of advanced defense engineering and accessible robotics education. His foundational work began with the complex physics of underwater explosion bubble dynamics and their effects on ship and submarine whipping—critical for naval survivability. Upon graduating, Dr. Lynn transitioned to the U.S. Army, where he spent over a decade making pivotal contributions to major programs, including the development of the first-of-their-kind M829A1 and A2 kinetic energy penetrators, which significantly advanced anti-armor capabilities. Beyond his defense work, Dr. Lynn is recognized for his commitment to mentoring the next generation of engineers. His most cited paper, “A Student Project using Robotic Operating System (ROS) for Undergraduate Research” (2018, 6 citations), provides a practical framework for integrating ROS into undergraduate curricula, lowering the barrier for students to engage in real-world robotics research. This work reflects his broader impact: bridging high-stakes defense research with hands-on educational innovation, ensuring that complex engineering challenges remain accessible and inspiring for students.
