NASA’s Embry-Riddle High-Altitude Science Experiment Rig (ERHASER)

  • PI Pedro LLanos

    CO-I Sathya Gangadharan

  • The purpose of this study aboard the NASA’s Airborne Science Program WB-57 aircraft was to assess the effect of radiation on murine naïve and activated T lymphocytes (T cells) and to test the effectiveness of thermal, radiation and flight tracking technology in biological scientific payloads. Flight cells were kept under proper environmental conditions by using an active thermal system, whereas the levels of radiation were measured by NASA’s Timepix radiation sensor during ascent, cruise at 60,000 feet, and descent.

Novel n x n Bit-Serial Multiplier Architecture Optimized for Field Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGA)

    CO-I Holly Ross

  • Bit-serial multipliers have a variety of applications, from the implementation of neural networks to cryptography. The advantage of a bit-serial multiplier is its relatively small footprint, when implemented on a Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) device. Despite their apparent advantages, however, traditional bit-serial multipliers typically require a substantial overhead, in terms of component usage, which directly translates to a large area of the chip being reserved while many of those resources are unused.

    This research addresses the possibility of an efficient two's complement bit-serial multiplier (serial-serial multiplier) implementation that would minimize flip-flop and control set usage on an FPGA device, thereby potentially reducing the overall area of the circuit. Since the proposed architecture is modular, it functions as a "generic" definition that can be effortlessly implemented on an FPGA device for any number of bits.

NREUP: Predictive Analytics for Dynamic Pricing in Private Aviation

  • PI Mihhail Berezovski

    CO-I Mariah Marin

    CO-I Camryn Wills

    CO-I Mafalda Soares

  • OneSky Flight supports the technology needs of four established private jet brands; Flexjet, Sentient Jet, PrivateFly, and Sirio. One key function required by these businesses is trip pricing. This is the exercise of determining the appropriate price for a trip, considering many factors. Today, this process is manual. The ultimate goal of this project is to create a dynamic pricing tool that generates an appropriate price for trips in the US and EU. There is a large part of this project that needs to be addressed: Event Calendar. The Event Calendar includes a factor for each day of the year. These factors are based on the events/holidays that happen throughout the year and their impact on the demand for days on and surrounding the events/holidays.  Support for this project is provided by the National Research Experience for Undergraduates Program (NREUP) of the Mathematical Association of America funded by the NSF Grant #1950644.
