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.

PI Alan Stolzer
This project aims to provide subject matter expertise in the development of SMS requirements/criteria that could be utilized as a basis for development of a design/manufacture SMS, as well as the regulatory acceptance and oversight of an implemented SMS within a design/manufacture.

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.

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.

This meta-analysis attempts to understand the benefits of a structured communication process on patient, provider, and organizational outcomes. Studies have found that one of the most crucial points during a patient’s hospital stay is the transition of care between one or more providers, often referred to as a patient handoff. These brief interactions between providers are often especially vulnerable to communication breakdowns due to interruptions, omission of pertinent information by the sender or receiver of the information. To illustrate, upwards of 80% of severe, preventable medical errors have been attributed to miscommunication during handoffs. In other words, failures in communication during handoff are potentially responsible for the loss of hundreds of thousands of lives every year in the United States.

Micro Jet

PI Richard Beckwith
This research aims to provide opportunities for undergraduates to research and build a BD-5J and pursue a new method of aeronautical training.

PI Neil Sullivan

CO-I Mark Ricklick
This project is focused on the exploration and validation of numerical modeling techniques, for the simulation of supercritical jets in crossflow.

PI Alan Liu
This MRI grant supports the replacement of an aging master oscillator in the Na wind/temperature lidar at the Andes Lidar Observatory (ALO), located in Cerro Pachón, Chile.

PI Eric Coyle

CO-I Patrick Currier
An investigation into strategies and techniques for maritime object detection and classification using visual and spatial data with an emphasis on sensor fusion.

PI Victor Huayamave
There is currently a lack of biomechanical quantification of growth and development because: (1) there is no generic musculoskeletal infant model, and (2) the lack of infant data in the literature.
