Graphics Tools for Meteorology Research and Education
PI
PI Mark Sinclair
A software package called MADS (Meteorological Analysis and Diagnostic Software) is being developed to provide gridded data (both archived and real-time) and graphical software to produce maps, cross-sections, vertical profiles, time series graphs and statistical (climatological) displays of a large number of basic and derived quantities.

Novel n x n Bit-Serial Multiplier Architecture Optimized for Field Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGA)
PI Akhan Almagambetov
CO-I David Feinauer
CO-I Holly Ross
Bit-serial multipliers have a variety of applications, from the implementation of neural networks to cryptography. The advantage of a bit-serial multiplier is its relatively small footprint, when implemented on a Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) device. Despite their apparent advantages, however, traditional bit-serial multipliers typically require a substantial overhead, in terms of component usage, which directly translates to a large area of the chip being reserved while many of those resources are unused.
This research addresses the possibility of an efficient two's complement bit-serial multiplier (serial-serial multiplier) implementation that would minimize flip-flop and control set usage on an FPGA device, thereby potentially reducing the overall area of the circuit. Since the proposed architecture is modular, it functions as a "generic" definition that can be effortlessly implemented on an FPGA device for any number of bits.

This study proposes to test and collect data on the effectiveness of commonly used physical security systems in delaying intruders. The purpose of this study is to support the design of better physical security systems for schools. The study will also gather data on parent and teacher perceptions of the quality of security in schools.

Matrix Analysis and Operator Theory
PI Edward Poon
Matrices and operators are ubiquitous throughout science, engineering, and mathematics; they are the transformations that arise whenever one studies a linear system (or approximates a nonlinear system by a linear one). Examples include rotations and reflections (rigid motions of space), spin operators (quantum mechanics and quantum computing), stress tensors (mechanics), regression and curve fitting (statistics and data analysis), derivatives and linear differential operators (dynamical systems), to name just a few. By studying various properties, relations, and transformations of matrices and operators one may obtain insight into a wide range of phenomena.

Astroparticle Physics
PI Darrel Smith
CO-I Brennan Hughey
In the 1950's and 1960's, high-energy and cosmic-ray physics developed into two different fields of research. However, in the last twenty 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).

Exotic Propulsion
PI Darrel Smith
Exotic propulsion has captured the interest of many Embry-Riddle students. As NASA plans its manned mission to Mars, we come face-to-face with a fundamental dilemma -- a round trip to Mars will take almost three years with traditional chemical rockets!
