Kimberly Ennix-Sandhu is an Aerospace Engineer with NASA Dryden Flight Research Center. She has worked at the Center for 20 years. Before assuming her position at NASA, she worked for the Air Force Rocket Propulsion laboratory also at Edwards AFB. 

Sandhu's primary job with NASA is in jet and rocket engine flight research.  This means complete familiarity with different types of jet engines and aircraft, which included everything from the F-16, F-15, F-18 and SR-71aircraft and the Space Shuttle. Flight research requires the researcher to take any given experiment and install it in or on the aircraft and design the flight regime in which to test the integrated vehicle.  This type of research requires knowledge of different type of computers (Macintosh and PC's, SUN and Silicon Graphics workstations).  It also requires the scientist to write up findings and present them at technical symposiums. Over the years, she has worked on over a dozen projects, and written and presented 22 technical papers.

Sandhu received her undergraduate degree from the University of Tennessee, Knoxville, Tennessee with a Bachelor of Science in Mechanical Engineering and  a Masters of Science degree in Engineering from California Polytechnic State University, Pomona.
