  • 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.

Green Supply Chains

  • PI Aman Gupta

    CO-I Mohammed Arif

  • This research attempts to create a model for assessment of green supply chains for the aviation and aerospace manufacturing industry. We have developed a model using review of the existing literature. We have identified 19 drivers, 14 barriers, green supply chain practices in the areas including, purchasing, design, production, management, logistics, and marketing, and multiple firm's performance measures. Green drivers, barriers, green supply chain practices and firm performance measures' interactions are examined
GUMP: General Urban Area Microclimate Predictions Tool

  • PI Kevin Adkins

    CO-I Nickolas Macchiarella

    CO-I National Aeronautics and Space Administration NASA

  • Hyperlocal weather predictions are often necessary in order to determine whether a particular sUAS route will be safe to fly. The General Urban area Microclimate Predictions tool (GUMP) seeks to provide such predictions through the use of machine learning (ML) models and computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulations. The computed wind flow field is converted into an intuitive risk map for sUAS operators through the use of appropriate thresholds on wind velocities.

Hazard Detection and Avoidance for Lunar Landing

  • PI Troy Henderson

  • This project develops and demonstrates algorithms for detecting and avoiding areas of large rocks and high slopes for a lunar lander
Heuristic Approach for the Vendor Managed Inventory Problem

  • PI Soumia Ichoua

  • In this project, we consider the Vendor Managed Inventory Problem. We propose a rolling horizon approach where a schedule is repeatedly constructed over a fixed number of time periods using a tabu search heuristic.
Hidden Dangers on the Flight Deck: A Stakeholder Analysis of the Issues Surrounding Commercial Pilot Mental Health

  • PI Mark Miller

    CO-I Katie Coleman Assad

  • A comprehensive stakeholder analysis of commercial pilot mental health in the US.
HIFiRE II Direct Connect Scramjet Engine Simulation

  • PI William Engblom

  • The primary goal of this project is to develop and demonstrate a computational methodology for accurate simulation of scramjet engine internal flows. This research is currently funded by the Department of Defense via a sole source subcontract with NASA Glenn Research Center.
High Spectral Resolution Observations of Lunar Exospheric Emissions

  • PI Edwin Mierkiewicz

  • We are employing high-resolution Fabry-Perot spectroscopy of neutral sodium and potassium emission to investigate the morphology and dynamics of the lunar sodium exosphere. Likely atmosphere source mechanisms are thermal desorption, photo-desorption, ion sputtering, and meteoric impact ablation.

History of Sun-Earth Connection Scientific Research

  • PI Joseph Bassi

  • An ongoing project to better understand the history of the science of sun-earth connection, including subtopics such as sun-weather studies and "space weather"
How does Sarah McLachlan make me donate to the SPCA? Emotional Intelligence and Emotionally Laden Persuasive Appeals

  • PI Rosalee Opengart

  • This research examines the notion that a person's level of emotional intelligence serves to mediate the effect of social influence on the consumer. The purpose of this study is to examine whether emotional intelligence may mediate the impact of persuasive attempts in consumer decision- making.
How to Increase the Enrollment and Involvement of Women in the Areas of Aviation, Aeronautical Science, and Aerospace Engineering?

  • PI Dothang Truong

  • Research indicates the persistent under representation of women in aviation, aeronautical science, and aerospace engineering fields. This research presents an effort in increasing the enrollment and involvement of women in these areas using an interdisciplinary approach.
How to Successfully Implement Cloud-Based Solutions in Supply Chain Management?

  • PI Dothang Truong

  • Cloud computing has been proven to have numerous benefits for organizations, especially in supply chain management. More and more organizations have adopted cloud-based solutions to be their primary sourcing applications.
