Phillip Price is a research physicist in the Mobility Systems Branch (MSB) in the Geotechnical and Structures Laboratory (GSL) at the U.S. Army Engineer Research and Development Center (ERDC). His work primarily involves modeling realistic sensor-environment interactions in a virtual environment with the goal of simulating various autonomous ground vehicles.
Philip Price, USACE
Before arriving at ERDC, Phillip completed his PhD in physics at the University of Connecticut, where he created numerical simulations of atomic and molecular systems with the goal of improving the efficiency of processes that create suitable candidates for quantum computing applications. Prior to this, he attended Auburn University, where he graduated with degrees in physics and math.
