Usability of Urban Air Mobility: Quantitative and Qualitative Assessments of Usage in Emergency Situations
PI Scott Winter
CO-I Stephen Rice
CO-I Sean Crouse
The purpose of these studies is to determine the usability of urban air mobility (UAM) vehicles in the emergency response to natural disasters and the ideal locations for their take-off and landing sites to occur, consistent with the Center's Theme 2. UAM involves aerial vehicles, mostly operated autonomously, which can complete short flights around urban areas, although their applications are expanding to rural operations as well. While initially designed to support advanced transportation mobility, these vehicles could offer numerous advantages in the emergency response to natural disasters. Through a series of four studies with over 2,000 total participants, quantitative and qualitative methods will be used to identify UAM vehicles' usability in response to natural disasters. The studies will examine the types of natural disasters and types of missions where UAM could be considered usable, along with the creation of a valid scale to determine vertiport usability. Interviews will also be conducted to provide qualitative insights to complement the quantitative findings.

Assessing If Motivation Impacts General Aviation Pilots’ Persistence in Varying Weather Conditions
PI Sabrina Woods
CO-I Scott Winter
Continued flight under visual flight rules into instrument meteorological conditions is the predominant cause for fatal accidents by percentage, for general aviation aircraft operations. It is possible that a pilot’s motivation or reason for flying will override other safer, more logical courses of action when a hazard presents itself. The decision appears to stem from a willingness to persist in a course of action despite factors that indicate an alternate and safer course is warranted. This research addresses what is currently presumed about the decision to continue flying under visual flight rules into instrument conditions and marries those ideas with the extensive studies on how theoretically affects the decision-making process.

Distributed Detection and Control of Collective Behaviors in Multi-agent Systems
PI Tianyu Yang
Multi-agent systems can be defined as a group of dynamical systems, in which certain emergent behaviors are exhibited through the local interaction among group members that individually have the capability of self-operating. The key issues we study include the analysis of network controllability and the design of coordination control protocol in order to achieve autonomous and optimal tasking allocation. Also, the detection and resilient control of emergent behaviors in large scale multi-agent systems are of keen interest.

UAS Ground Collision Severity Evaluation
PI Feng Zhu
CO-I Eduardo Divo
CO-I Victor Huayamave
Increased use of UAS requires an in-depth understanding of the hazard severity and likelihood of UAS operations in the NAS. Due to their distinct characteristics (e.g. size, weight and shape) with manned aircraft systems, UAS operations may pose unique hazards to other aircraft and people on the ground.

Microfluidic Chip & Magnetic 3D Bioprinting Research
Breast and colon cancer are the leading causes of death in developed countries (e.g., U.S.) and are highly associated with numerous risk factors including genetics, diet, obesity, cigarette smoking, hypertension, stress, and spaceflight stressors. Despite advances in the diagnosis and treatment of cancer, the mortality rates are still high and the potential mechanisms driving the metastatic potential of the cancer cells are still not well characterized.
