During his 31 years at the agency, Shin led research programs related to electrified aircraft, supersonic planes, traffic management and urban air mobility. He also chaired several inter-agency initiatives.
Shin has bachelor’s, master’s and doctoral degrees in mechanical engineering. He also is a graduate of the senior executive fellowship program at Harvard University’s Kennedy School of Government.
