Resolving Physical Conditions of Diffuse Ionized Gas throughout the Milky Way-Magellanic System

  • PI Lawrence Haffner

    CO-I Edwin Mierkiewicz

  • We use a dedicated, sensitive spectroscopic facility in Chile, the Wisconsin H-Alpha Mapper (WHAM), to study the physical conditions of the diffuse ionized gas (DIG) in the Milky Way and Magellanic System.
Retrospective Detection of Valve Sticking Events in Aircraft Engines Using Historical Sensor Data

  • PI Parham Ahmady Phoulady

  • This project seeks to advance aviation safety by identifying historical valve sticking incidents within piston aircraft engines through the analysis of sensor data, thereby contributing to enhanced maintenance practices and operational reliability. 
REU Site: Exploring Aerospace Research at the Intersection of Mechanics, Materials Science, and Aerospace Physiology

  • PI Foram Madiyar

    CO-I Alberto Mello

  • This Project is founded by National Science Foundation, under REU site. This project aims to educate students and promote scientific research in materials and aerospace science that encompasses not only building lighter and smarter materials for aerospace applications but also understanding the impact of the space environment on physiological and biological changes.
Robust Automatic Speech Recognition for Aviation Applications

  • PI Jianhua Liu

    CO-I Andrew Schneider

  • The goal of this project is to develop speech recognition models that can be used in aviation contexts. 

Rocketry as Testing Platforms for Payloads

  • PI Pedro LLanos

    CO-I Sathya Gangadharan

  • Design, assemble and launch small rockets as testing platforms to test small payloads which are flown aboard suborbital flight vehicles. We have successfully launched Level 1, Level 2 rockets, and we are in the process of finalizing the Level 3 rocket.

Safety Systems, Culture, and Passengers’ Willingness to Fly in Autonomous Air Taxis

  • PI Kenneth Ward

    CO-I Scott Winter

  • As city populations grow, the transportation industry plans to alleviate traffic congestion by introducing the urban air mobility (UAM) concept, in which small passenger and cargo aircraft augment metropolitan transportation networks. A key component of UAM is that of air taxis, which are on-demand air services for individuals and small groups. In addition, UAM companies are designing the aircraft to operate fully autonomously: The intent is for the vehicles to arrive and transport people from point to point without input from human pilots.

Science and engineering proof of concept study for the Next generation Space Weather Prediction mission and space weather model development

  • PI Heidi Nykyri

  • Project analyzes astrodynamics (transfer trajectories) and spacecraft constellation stability about all Lagrange points for Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars system for the "next generation" space weather prediction mission, and develops a solar wind model which will use data from this mission
Seaplane design analysis: Focus on structure factor optimization

  • PI Alberto Mello

    CO-I Soham Bahulekar

    CO-I Sergio Butkewitshch

    CO-I Wesley Queiroz

  • In this work, a design optimization is being investigated considering possible hydrodynamic and structural advantages aiming to reduce the structure weight factor, with a trade-off between fluid dynamics and structural aspects.
Searching For Subdwarf B Long Orbital Period Binary Systems And Single Stars Using The Light Time Delay Method

  • PI Tomomi Otani

  • Our group, which includes both graduate and undergraduate students, studies the formation of subdwarf B (sdB) stars by investigating their binarity through stellar pulsations. We use photometry data from the TESS space telescope to measure precise pulsation frequencies, distinguish between binary and single-star systems, and determine orbital solutions for candidate binaries. This research is supported by NASA funding.
Secret Sharing Over a Gaussian Broadcast Channel: Optimal Coding Scheme Design and Deep Learning Approach at Short Blocklength

  • PI Rumia Sultana

  • ​We consider a secret sharing model where a dealer shares a secret with several participants through a Gaussian broadcast channel such that predefined subsets of participants can reconstruct the secret and all other subsets of participants cannot learn any information about the secret.
Self-Sustained Flow-Acoustic Interactions in Airfoil Transitional Boundary Layers

  • PI Vladimir Golubev

    CO-I Reda Mankbadi

  • This work carries out collaborative theoretical, experimental and numerical investigations of flow-acoustic resonant interactions in transitional airfoils which are responsible for sudden appearance of prominent acoustic tones and unsteady aerodynamic fluctuations in low-Reynolds-number airfoils.
Shielded UAS Operations Detect and Avoid

  • PI Hever Moncayo

  • ​This effort is intended to identify risks and recommend solutions to the FAA that enable shielded UAS operations
