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
Seaplane design analysis: Focus on structure factor optimization

  • PI Alberto Mello

    CO-I Soham Bahulekar

    CO-I Sergio Butkewitshch

    CO-I Wesley Queiroz

  • In this work, a design optimization is being investigated considering possible hydrodynamic and structural advantages aiming to reduce the structure weight factor, with a trade-off between fluid dynamics and structural aspects.
Searching For Subdwarf B Long Orbital Period Binary Systems And Single Stars Using The Light Time Delay Method

  • PI Tomomi Otani

  • Our group, which includes both graduate and undergraduate students, studies the formation of subdwarf B (sdB) stars by investigating their binarity through stellar pulsations. We use photometry data from the TESS space telescope to measure precise pulsation frequencies, distinguish between binary and single-star systems, and determine orbital solutions for candidate binaries. This research is supported by NASA funding.
Secret Sharing Over a Gaussian Broadcast Channel: Optimal Coding Scheme Design and Deep Learning Approach at Short Blocklength

  • PI Rumia Sultana

  • ​We consider a secret sharing model where a dealer shares a secret with several participants through a Gaussian broadcast channel such that predefined subsets of participants can reconstruct the secret and all other subsets of participants cannot learn any information about the secret.
Sediment Transport

  • PI Shahrdad Sajjadi

  • The purpose of this study is to obtain results from well-controlled laboratory experiments for rough turbulent oscillatory boundary layers over wavy surfaces for both mean and second-order turbulent statistics.
Self-Sustained Flow-Acoustic Interactions in Airfoil Transitional Boundary Layers

  • PI Vladimir Golubev

    CO-I Reda Mankbadi

  • This work carries out collaborative theoretical, experimental and numerical investigations of flow-acoustic resonant interactions in transitional airfoils which are responsible for sudden appearance of prominent acoustic tones and unsteady aerodynamic fluctuations in low-Reynolds-number airfoils.
Shielded UAS Operations Detect and Avoid

  • PI Hever Moncayo

  • ​This effort is intended to identify risks and recommend solutions to the FAA that enable shielded UAS operations
Simulation to Application Exploring Students’ Ability to Transfer Skills

  • CO-I Wendi Kappers

  • This research study aims to explore how students transfer skills learned during a simulation to a real-world application setting; primarily from MyITlab to Microsoft Office. By gaining a better understanding of how students transfer knowledge from the simulated activity to the application, instructors will be able to better aid the students in more effectively making this transition.

Small UAS (sUAS) Mid-Air Collision (MAC) Likelihood

  • PI Ryan Wallace

    CO-I Dothang Truong

    CO-I Scott Winter

    CO-I David Cross

  • This research focuses on sUAS MAC likelihood analysis with general aviation (GA) and commercial aircraft. Because severity research varies based on where a collision occurred on a manned aircraft, this likelihood research will not only look at the probability of a MAC, but also the likelihood of colliding with different parts of a manned aircraft.
SMS Effectiveness

  • PI Alan Stolzer

  • The overarching objective for this research project is to develop a model for determining SMS effectiveness in an aviation/aerospace organization. Specific tasks are:Design a model scalable to the size of the organization. In other words, it will be adaptable for use for major airlines and small, commuter operations,Evaluate the model for validity and reliability,Incorporate a tool for determination as to whether an organization has the necessary components in place and operational for SMS,Provide a scoring matrix by which the level of effectiveness can be set and compared to other aerospace/aviation organizations.
Soliton Ship

  • PI Ciprian Mancas

  • Over the past two decades, organizations have been interested in finding what would be the optimum shape such that a vessel traveling through water would be undetected, in the sense that it will not produce quake waves. In the lab we will build such a ship with the shape of an inverted soliton and find the optimum traveling velocity to minimize the quake.
