PI Woong Yeol Joe
- Dr. Joe W. Yeol is dedicated to robotics research in general applications and holds particular interest in Micro Aerial Vehicle (MAV) and Dynamics and Control research working with students.
- Tom Gally in Aerospace Engineering recently completed a NASA faculty fellowship at NASA Langley. His efforts were primarily focused on coupling aerodynamic simulation with structural behavior.

- Algebraic topology. Specific Special interests include homotopy and fiber spaces. My field of interest is within the area of algebraic topology, called homotopy theory. Roughly, it is a study of deformation from one topological space to another. Homotopy fiber is a part of a construction that associates a fibration to an arbitrary continuous function of topological spaces. The concept of fiber space is crucial in homotopy theory.

We first show that a derivation studied recently by E. Christensen has a set of analytic elements which is strong operator topology-dense in the algebra of bounded operators on a Hilbert space, which strengthens a result of Christensen. Our second main result shows that this derivation has kernel stabilization, that is, no elements have derivative eventually equal to 0 unless their first derivative is 0. As applications, we (1) show that a family of derivations on C*-algebras studied by Bratteli and Robinson has kernel stabilization, and (2) we provide sufficient conditions for when two operators which satisfy the Heisenberg Commutation Relation must both be unbounded.

- Astronomy is one of the oldest sciences, as people have been observing and learning from the stars for thousands of years. Astronomy has expanded beyond visible light to include the full spectrum of electromagnetic waves, from radio to x-rays and gamma rays, as well as cosmic messengers beyond the electromagnetic spectrum.

- In the 1950s and 1960s, high-energy and cosmic-ray physics developed into two different fields of research. However, in the last 20 years, they have come together in a most peculiar way. As space physicists explored the sources and mechanisms for producing cosmic rays, they also realized that it was impossible to measure the dynamics of the early universe (i.e., the first 400,000 years).

- As aviation moves into its second century, aircraft accidents have become less common, but the rate of decision-based accidents has not decreased in comparison with mechanical-failure based accidents. This is especially true of General Aviation accidents, both in single engine and light twin aircraft.

- This project evaluated the pilot implementation of the Canvas Learning Management System (LMS) during the 2014-2015 academic year. Participating faculty and students were asked to complete a survey about their experiences with the new system and asked to participate in a qualitative follow-up session (focus groups with students; interviews with faculty members) to identify additional perspectives. During the transition to a new LMS, the university underwent a smaller pilot implementation to help all parties better prepare for the larger, university-wide Canvas implementation slated during the first half of 2015.

Specific interests include topological entropy and shadowing properties. My field of interest is “Smooth Dynamical Systems” (Phenomenon that changes with time). In order to study the “Dynamical Systems” we need to study the "Topological Entropy" and "Shadowing Properties".

- The objective of this two-group, quasi-experimental pretest-posttest research study is to determine whether changes in thermal heat readings around the periorbital region of the eyes can be accurately detected during stressful conditions using a specially designed set of eye glasses imbedded with thermal detectors.

Einstein’s theory of General Relativity offers a remarkable description of gravity as curved space and time. Many of the consequences of this theory have been confirmed, and some are used daily, such as the gravitational redshift effect on GPS satellite atomic clocks. In 2015, the first observation of a gravitational wave from two inspiraling black holes occurred using the gravitational wave observatories as part of the worldwide LIGO-VIRGO collaboration. This discovery won the Nobel prize, and the observations of these events have continued, including a multi-messenger event of two colliding neutron stars.
