IUSE/PFE: RED Innovation: Using Scrum to Develop an Agile Department

  • PI Massood Towhidnejad

    CO-I Omar Ochoa

    CO-I James Pembridge

  • Efforts to implement these kinds of changes are often slowed down by department cultures or faculty attitudes about the amount of time and work that would be involved. In this project the Electrical Engineering and Computer Science (EECS) Department at Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University will implement an innovative approach to become a department that responds quickly to student and industry needs.

Langrangian Wind Tunnel
  • ERAU is supporting industry (i.e. Global Aerospace Corp.) in the development of a novel hypersonic wind tunnel by using high-fidelity computational fluid dynamcs.
Large Amplitude Electromagnetic Waves in the Radiation Belt

  • CO-I Miles Bengtson

    CO-I Anatoly Streltsov

  • When the first American satellite, Explorer I, was launched into space it inadvertently discovered one of the most significant features of our local space environment: the Van Allen Radiation Belts.  This region contains highly energetic particles that are hazardous.  This research involves one promising remediation mechanism based on interactions between these particles and very-low frequency electromagnetic waves known as whistlers.
LAX Tow Tugs Feasibility Study

  • PI Massoud Bazargan

  • Currently, United Airlines does not have any tow tugs at LAX and uses only tractors with pull bars.
Learning from Zombie Ants to Increase UAV Swarm Resilience to Faulted Agents

  • PI Bryan Watson

  • This proposal examines the issue of faulted-agent mitigation through the lens of Biologically Inspired Design.

Machine Learning Engineering: Infusing Software Engineering through the Semantic Web

  • PI Omar Ochoa

  • ​The Semantic Web provides a wealth of high-quality, structured, and contextual data, which can be used to train machine learning models.
Magnetically-Driven Ventricular Assist Device

  • PI Eduardo Divo

    CO-I Christopher Adams

  • The proposed project brings together multi-scale computational fluid dynamics (CFD) analysis and mock circulatory loop (MCL) benchtop experiments to analyze the hemodynamics of a proposed Magnetically-Driven Ventricular Assist Device (MVAD).

Magnetospheric Multi-Scale (MMS) Observations and simulations of high-energy electrons in the dayside magnetosheath

  • PI Heidi Nykyri

    CO-I Brandon Burkholder

    CO-I Xuanye Ma

  • ​The key objective of this study is to better understand the source and cause of high-energy electrons observed by the MMS in the dayside magnetosheath. 
Manpower Planning for Maintenance Crew at SFO

  • PI Massoud Bazargan

  • The objective of this project is to optimize the use of maintenance manpower at San Francisco International Airport for efficient use of available resources and reduce flight delays.
Matrix Analysis and Operator Theory

  • PI Edward Poon

  • Matrices and operators are ubiquitous throughout science, engineering, and mathematics; they are the transformations that arise whenever one studies a linear system (or approximates a nonlinear system by a linear one). Examples include rotations and reflections (rigid motions of space), spin operators (quantum mechanics and quantum computing), stress tensors (mechanics), regression and curve fitting (statistics and data analysis), derivatives and linear differential operators (dynamical systems), to name just a few.  By studying various properties, relations, and transformations of matrices and operators one may obtain insight into a wide range of phenomena.
Measuring Interstellar Temperature and Ionization Variations Using Observations of Faint Diffuse [OII] Emission

  • PI Edwin Mierkiewicz

  • The interstellar medium (ISM) plays a vital role in the ongoing cycle of stellar birth and death as well as galactic evolution. However the role of interstellar matter, from how its properties are influenced by stars to how, in turn, its properties influence star formation is poorly understood.
