The impact of corporate social responsibility communication on corporate reputation
PI Doreen McGunagle
CO-I Dixie Button
The goal of this research project is to analyze the ethics of social media used by U.S. airlines. In particular, how the four major carriers, Southwest Airlines, Delta, United, and American Airlines Group, stack up against each other in terms of privacy and the ethical use of information obtained via social media sites such as Facebook.

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.

Behavior of superalloys subjected to fatigue loads under high temperature
PI Alberto Mello
CO-I Paulina De La Torre Morales
CO-I Open Position - New students are welcome
This study is evaluating what initial conditions can activate cubic slip planes, then the level of accommodation and strain homogenization within the grain, and how a given initial condition affects the material behavior when subjected to operational cyclic loads under high temperature.

Bird Strike - The Effect of the Leading Edge Radius on the Behavior of the Bird Upon Impact
PI Alberto Mello
CO-I Kiran Kumar Avula
CO-I James Pembridge
This project is in partnership with Gulfstream Aerospace Corporation under MMSE program.
Birds pose a major threat to aviation. Bird impact can lead to significant damage of the aircraft and can be sometimes catastrophic. For a damage tolerant design of an aircraft structure, the structure has to fulfill the airworthiness specifications prescribed by FAA or EASA.

Measuring Interstellar Temperature and Ionization Variations Using Observations of Faint Diffuse [OII] Emission
PI Edwin Mierkiewicz
The interstellar medium (ISM) plays a vital role in the ongoing cycle of stellar birth and death as well as galactic evolution. However the role of interstellar matter, from how its properties are influenced by stars to how, in turn, its properties influence star formation is poorly understood.

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.

Environmental Analysis of Convective Initiation Events in Central Florida using Integrated Mobile Observation
PI Shawn Milrad
PI Daniel Halperin
This research collaboration with the National Weather Service (NWS) Weather Forecast Office Tampa Bay aims to develop an ingredients-based methodology to help improve forecasts of first-strike cloud-to-ground lightning strikes in summer thunderstorms across Central Florida. Results will be used to construct a new forecast tool that will aid NWS forecasters in protecting the region’s life and property from these dangerous lightning events.
