Resolving Physical Conditions of Diffuse Ionized Gas throughout the Milky Way-Magellanic System
  • PI Lawrence Haffner

    CO-I Edwin Mierkiewicz

  • We use a dedicated, sensitive spectroscopic facility in Chile, the Wisconsin H-Alpha Mapper (WHAM), to study the physical conditions of the diffuse ionized gas (DIG) in the Milky Way and Magellanic System.
Retrospective Detection of Valve Sticking Events in Aircraft Engines Using Historical Sensor Data
  • PI Parham Ahmady Phoulady

  • This project seeks to advance aviation safety by identifying historical valve sticking incidents within piston aircraft engines through the analysis of sensor data, thereby contributing to enhanced maintenance practices and operational reliability. 
REU Site: Exploring Aerospace Research at the Intersection of Mechanics, Materials Science, and Aerospace Physiology
  • PI Foram Madiyar

    CO-I Alberto Mello

  • This Project is founded by National Science Foundation, under REU site. This project aims to educate students and promote scientific research in materials and aerospace science that encompasses not only building lighter and smarter materials for aerospace applications but also understanding the impact of the space environment on physiological and biological changes.
Review of International Mechanisms LSC
  • PI Diane Howard

  • This is a Working Group of the Legal Subcommittee of UN COPUOS that is researching the many different mechanisms used by the space community to foster cooperation, including inter alia bi-lateral and multi-lateral agreements, non-binding arrangements, principles, technical guidelines. I am participating as a subject matter expert.
Robust Automatic Speech Recognition for Aviation Applications
  • PI Jianhua Liu

    CO-I Andrew Schneider

  • The goal of this project is to develop speech recognition models that can be used in aviation contexts. 

Rocket Engineering
  • PI Eric Perrell

  • A number of related projects to design, build, test, and fly high powered rockets with solid and liquid propellant propulsion systems, for professional competitions, and access to space.
Rocketry as Testing Platforms for Payloads
  • PI Pedro LLanos

    CO-I Sathya Gangadharan

  • Design, assemble and launch small rockets as testing platforms to test small payloads which are flown aboard suborbital flight vehicles. We have successfully launched Level 1, Level 2 rockets, and we are in the process of finalizing the Level 3 rocket.

S.T.E.M. Outreach
  • PI Yosef Allam

  • This research project is a study on the effectiveness and the affects of a STEM subject class for the three main levels of public education: Elementary, Middle, and High School.
SAE Formula Hybrid
  • PI Darris White

  • The project being completed by the Society of Automotive Engineers Formula Hybrid Team allows students to practice methods learned in the classroom while exploring new technologies popular in industry. After performing analysis on power output, the existing engine is providing more power than necessary, resulting in lower efficiency.
Safety Systems, Culture, and Passengers’ Willingness to Fly in Autonomous Air Taxis
  • PI Kenneth Ward

    CO-I Scott Winter

  • As city populations grow, the transportation industry plans to alleviate traffic congestion by introducing the urban air mobility (UAM) concept, in which small passenger and cargo aircraft augment metropolitan transportation networks. A key component of UAM is that of air taxis, which are on-demand air services for individuals and small groups. In addition, UAM companies are designing the aircraft to operate fully autonomously: The intent is for the vehicles to arrive and transport people from point to point without input from human pilots.

Satellite Images for Aviation Interests
  • PI Frederick Mosher

  • Development of geostationary satellite images which will detect aviation weather hazards, including nighttime fog, volcanic ash, and thunderstorms.
Science and engineering proof of concept study for the Next generation Space Weather Prediction mission and space weather model development
  • PI Heidi Nykyri

  • Project analyzes astrodynamics (transfer trajectories) and spacecraft constellation stability about all Lagrange points for Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars system for the "next generation" space weather prediction mission, and develops a solar wind model which will use data from this mission
