Bryony DuPont is an Associate Professor of Mechanical Engineering at Oregon State University. She received her B.S. in Mechanical Engineering from Case Western Reserve University and her M.S. and Ph.D. in Mechanical Engineering from Carnegie Mellon University. Her research is in design automation, which is the application of computational algorithms and simulation to help engineering designers make more informed decisions earlier in the design of products and systems. Her work has applications in green design, specifically the design of renewable energy systems and environmentally sustainable products. Dr. DuPont has successfully received research funding from the US Department of Energy, the National Science Foundation, multiple national laboratories and industrial partners. She holds a joint appointment at the National Renewable Energy Laboratory. She teaches in engineering design, wind energy systems design, sustainable product design, and design for manufacturing.
