The objective of this proposal is the development of an SE(3)-based rigid body pose estimation scheme for unknown moments of inertia in a spacecraft. This estimator design will a) account for translation/rotation coupling, b) avoid singularity or non-uniqueness issues, c) gain high level of convergence, and d)account for system uncertainties.

This project studies physical processes behind why the spatial distribution of different types of precipitation are related to hurricane intensity change.

The proposed project is aimed at developing a highly accurate, efficient, and robust one-dimensional adaptive-mesh computational method for simulation of the propagation of discontinuities in solids. The principal part of this research is focused on the development of a new mesh adaptation technique and an accurate discontinuity tracking algorithm that will enhance the accuracy and efficiency of computations. The main idea is to combine the flexibility afforded by a dynamically moving mesh with the increased accuracy and efficiency of a discontinuity tracking algorithm, while preserving the stability of the scheme.

The purpose of this research is to develop and implement a fully functioning writing center for the Embry-Riddle Worldwide student body. The program will consist of a tutoring service to aid students with grammatically correct writing, forming coherent arguments, and properly addressing the specific objectives of the paper.

To improve the quality of EVC instruction, an evaluation was initiated of the modality to further investigate the sources of negative feedback and comments; and to identify strategies and best practices gathered from recent EVC faculty and students suggesting improvements needed in the EVC modality.

I've analyzed the synoptic and sub-synoptic aspects of the 25 December 2006 tornado outbreak in central Florida that resulted in $50 million of damage to the Embry-Riddle campus. I've examined this case from conventional meteorological and emergency-preparedness perspectives.

This study examined whether nicotine from electronic cigarette aerosols deposits on indoor surfaces and how long it persists. Using controlled chamber experiments, the research demonstrated that nicotine readily deposits on both glass and cotton surfaces and remains detectable for several days, with substantially longer persistence on cotton materials, indicating potential for thirdhand nicotine exposure.

Surfactants are used in engineering systems for reducing surface tension of fluids, especially water. However, it is not known how their viscosities affect nucleate boiling. The purpose of this research is to determine the viscosities of various surfactant solutions and elucidate the effect of viscosity on nucleate boiling
