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).

Air Sea Interaction

  • PI Shahrdad Sajjadi

    CO-I Ciprian Mancas

    CO-I Frederique Drullion

    CO-I Harihar Khanal

  • Many studies have been conducted on air-sea interactions. However, their main focus is on the dynamics of air-sea interactions of turbulent wind over non-linear unsteady waves. This project is in collaboration with University College London and the Trinity College, University of Cambridge.
Applying Second Language Acquisition to Facilitate a Blended Learning of Programming Languages

  • PI Lulu Sun

    CO-I Christina Frederick

    CO-I Paula Sanjuan Espejo

    CO-I Rebecca Rohmeyer

  • This research seeks to fundamentally change how students learn programming using Second Language Acquisition and Blended Learning (SLA-aBLe). This approach can be easily transferred to K-12 curricula, increasing access to STEM learning for diverse student populations. By developing an engineering faculty member's expertise in engineering education research, it will enhance communication and collaboration among faculty members and student researchers in different disciplines.
Auroral and Atmospheric Physics

Bayesian Analysis of Stellar Evolution

  • PI Theodore von Hippel

  • Bayesian Analysis of Stellar Evolution is an international collaboration studying stellar evolution with an emphasis on stellar ages. We also develop and support a Bayesian software suite that recovers star cluster and stellar parameters from photometry, currently called BASE-9.

CEDAR: Physics of the Hydrogen Geocorona

  • PI Edwin Mierkiewicz

  • The primary aim of this work is to determine the distribution of atomic hydrogen from thermospheric altitudes, into the exosphere on the nightside of the earth. The approach is the coupled analysis of ground-based atomic hydrogen Balmer-alpha and Balmer-beta intensities and line profiles by forward radiative transport (RT) modeling.
Collaborative Research: DASI Track 2--A Distributed Meteor Radar and Optical Network in South America

  • PI Alan Liu

  • This project will establish a distributed network of meteor radars and optical instruments in the mid-latitudes of South America, providing continuous measurements of upper atmospheric winds and nighttime wave perturbations in the mesosphere and thermosphere.

Collaborative Research: Instabilities and Turbulence in Gravity Wave Dissipation and Formation of Thermospheric Sodium Layers above the Andes

  • PI Alan Liu

Collaborative Research: Wideband Multi-Beam Antenna Arrays: Low-Complexity Algorithms and Analog-CMOS Implementations

  • PI Sirani Mututhanthrige Perera

    PI Arjuna Habarakada Madanayake

    PI Soumyajit Mandal

  • Explosion of millimeter-wave (mm-wave) bandwidth opens up applications in 5G wireless systems spanning communications, localization, imaging, and radar. This project addresses challenges in mathematics, engineering, and science in developing efficient wideband beamformers based on sparse factorizations of the matrix called-delay Vandermonde matrices (DVM). The proposed highly integrated approach is attractive for mobile applications including 5G smart devices, the internet of things, mobile robotics, unmanned aerial vehicles, and other emerging applications focused on mm-waves.

Critical Fora Discussing U.S.-Japan Space Security Cooperation

  • PI Elisabeth Murray

  • The proposed project aims to bring together leading American and Japanese space security experts with students and faculty from Embry Riddle Aeronautical University (ERAU) for a dialogue on the current state of space security and the potential for cooperation between Japan and the United States.
Cross-Scale Wave Coupling Processes in Kelvin-Helmholtz Structures

  • PI Heidi Nykyri

  • Project investigates cross-scale wave coupling processes and their role on ion heating, mixing and diffusion.
