Large Amplitude Electromagnetic Waves in the Radiation Belt

  • CO-I Miles Bengtson

    CO-I Anatoly Streltsov

  • When the first American satellite, Explorer I, was launched into space it inadvertently discovered one of the most significant features of our local space environment: the Van Allen Radiation Belts.  This region contains highly energetic particles that are hazardous.  This research involves one promising remediation mechanism based on interactions between these particles and very-low frequency electromagnetic waves known as whistlers.
Large Eddy Simulations of Liftoff Noise Reduction

  • PI Vladimir Golubev

    CO-I Reda Mankbadi

    CO-I Reda Mankbadi

  • This work conducts numerical studies of impinging jet acoustics in support of the efforts to suppress high nonlinear acoustic loads on the spacecraft structures during the launch phase.
LAX Tow Tugs Feasibility Study

  • PI Massoud Bazargan

  • Currently, United Airlines does not have any tow tugs at LAX and uses only tractors with pull bars.
Learning from Zombie Ants to Increase UAV Swarm Resilience to Faulted Agents

  • PI Bryan Watson

  • This proposal examines the issue of faulted-agent mitigation through the lens of Biologically Inspired Design.
Localization of Aircraft Using Wide Base-line Stereopsis

  • PI Kevin Rigby

  • The purpose of past research was to investigate the efficacy of wide-baseline stereopsis as a method of ranging aircraft, specifically as a possible sense-and-avoid solution in Unmanned Aerial Systems. The study was performed using a baseline 14.32 meters and two 640 x 480 pixel charge coupled device cameras.

Machine Learning Engineering: Infusing Software Engineering through the Semantic Web

  • PI Omar Ochoa

  • ​The Semantic Web provides a wealth of high-quality, structured, and contextual data, which can be used to train machine learning models.
Magnetically-Driven Ventricular Assist Device

  • PI Eduardo Divo

    CO-I Christopher Adams

  • The proposed project brings together multi-scale computational fluid dynamics (CFD) analysis and mock circulatory loop (MCL) benchtop experiments to analyze the hemodynamics of a proposed Magnetically-Driven Ventricular Assist Device (MVAD).

Magnetospheric Multi-Scale (MMS) Observations and simulations of high-energy electrons in the dayside magnetosheath

  • PI Heidi Nykyri

    CO-I Brandon Burkholder

    CO-I Xuanye Ma

  • ​The key objective of this study is to better understand the source and cause of high-energy electrons observed by the MMS in the dayside magnetosheath. 
Management Transformation (SSMT) Safety Management Systems (SMS) Pilot Project Criteria/Requirements

  • PI Alan Stolzer

  • This project aims to provide subject matter expertise in the development of SMS requirements/criteria that could be utilized as a basis for development of a design/manufacture SMS, as well as the regulatory acceptance and oversight of an implemented SMS within a design/manufacture.
Manpower Planning for Maintenance Crew at SFO

  • PI Massoud Bazargan

  • The objective of this project is to optimize the use of maintenance manpower at San Francisco International Airport for efficient use of available resources and reduce flight delays.
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.
