Dr. Brett Stone

Biography

Dr. Brett Stone earned his bachelor's degree in mechanical engineering from Brigham Young University - Idaho. He interned with Idaho National Laboratory for multiple summers working in communications and hybrid-electric vehicle research positions. He then earned his PhD in mechanical engineering from Brigham Young University where he studied design, remote design teams, and modern CAD tools. Before joining UVU, he worked for four years at Northrop Grumman where he helped to analyze and design solid rocket motors, satellite bus structures and test equipment, and airplanes.
