2017 PICMath: Mie Scattering Diagnostic

  • PI Mihhail Berezovski

    CO-I Clayton Birchenough

    CO-I Christopher Swinford

    CO-I Tilden Roberson

    CO-I Sophie Jorgensen

  • The Signal Processing and Applied Mathematics Research Group at the Nevada National Security Site teamed up with ²ÝÝ®ÊÓƵ (ERAU) to collaborate on a research project under the framework of PIC math program with challenge to make a recommendation about whether to use a technique, used in the air quality industry, called Mie scattering, and repurpose this method to measure particle sizes that are emitted from a metal surface when it's shocked by explosives.  

    Support for this project is provided by MAA PIC Math (Preparation for Industrial Careers in Mathematics) Program funded by the National Science Foundation (NSF grant DMS-1345499).

3D Printing of Continuous Carbon Fiber Composites with Programmable Thermal Behaviors: A Proactive Safety Design for Advanced Thermal Management

  • PI Yizhou Jiang

    CO-I Leitao Chen

    CO-I Yanbing Chen

  • ​This study aimed to fabricate composite materials, i.e. continuous carbon fibers reinforced thermoset composites (CCFRTC), in a way that makes heat transfer predictable, enabling effective control measures. The ability to control thermal transfer through 3D-printing can lead to significant improvements in preventing thermal-related accidents.

A Biologically Inspired Architecture Screening Tool to Improve Electric Grid Transient Response Design

  • PI Bryan Watson

  • The objective of this research is to develop and validate a new approach to design-for-transient resilience that provides additional insights, is less expensive, and can be used early in the design process.

A Boltzmann Simulator for Porous Media Flows

  • PI Leitao Chen

  • ​This project develops numerical simulations through parallel development of a Boltzmann model to capture and elucidate multiscale thermos-fluids behaviors in porous media, as well as the fluid-solid interactions.
A Comparison Of Safety Management Systems Training Methods At A Collegiate Flight Training Institution

  • PI Mackenzie Dickson

  • The purpose of this thesis was to compare how two different types of Safety Management Systems (SMS) training affect SMS knowledge in instructors and students in a university flight program. Additionally, the research sought to determine whether a correlation exists between safety knowledge and safety culture perception. An experimental research design was used to study two independent variables, training method and person type, and their effect of SMS knowledge. A non-experimental design was used to study the correlation between safety knowledge and safety culture perception. Research has shown that a safety-training program’s engagement level has an effect on the safety knowledge retained by trainees. This study sought to determine if higher-engagement, live- presentation training is a better approach to SMS training than a computer-based training module currently in use by the university studied. The results of this study can provide the university with useful guidance in constructing its SMS training program, an essential element to an effective SMS. Additionally, this study can demonstrate the importance of safety training in establishing positive perceptions of the university’s safety culture among students and instructors.

  • The purpose of the project is to develop a simulation that can serve as means for choosing the optimal shipping option based on given criteria.
Academic vs. Non-Academic Jobs: Doctorate Recipients' Career Decision and Job Satisfaction in the Areas of Sciences and Engineering

  • PI Dothang Truong

  • Doctorate recipients are known as the primary knowledge producers in society, and hold high-ranking positions in many employment sectors, including education, government, and private industry. As the demand for human workforce with highest degree increases, it is vital to study how doctorate recipients make their career choice and determinants of their work productivity.
Active Emissions Reduction for a Hybrid Car

  • PI Patrick Currier

    CO-I Maxwell Pellerin

  • The objective of this project is to reduce the emissions on the EcoCAR 3 hybrid Camaro 
Adding Tropical Cyclone Verification Capabilities to the Model Evaluation Tools – Tropical Cyclone (MET-TC) Software

  • PI Daniel Halperin

  • Producing reliable tropical cyclone (TC) genesis forecasts is an operational priority. The National Hurricane Center uses several TC genesis guidance products for their Tropical Weather Outlook. Furthermore, global model output is used in many TC genesis guidance products and is considered an important source of deterministic TC genesis forecast guidance. This project creates a standard framework for verifying deterministic and probabilistic TC genesis forecasts using the TC-Gen tool in the Model Evaluation Tools software package.
