Safety Climate and Firefighter Injury
  • PI Todd Smith

  • ​The purpose of this study is to specify the key elements of safety culture/climate in firefighting; the extent to which culture/climate is linked to important safety outcomes; and, what actions might be needed to improve culture/climate
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.

Satellite Images for Aviation Interests
  • PI Frederick Mosher

  • Development of geostationary satellite images which will detect aviation weather hazards, including nighttime fog, volcanic ash, and thunderstorms.
Satellite Research
  • PI Ronald Madler

  • Ron Madler of Aerospace Engineering spent summer 2005 at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory working with a team of students on a satellite project.
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.
Sediment Transport
  • PI Shahrdad Sajjadi

  • The purpose of this study is to obtain results from well-controlled laboratory experiments for rough turbulent oscillatory boundary layers over wavy surfaces for both mean and second-order turbulent statistics.
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
