- This project leverages big data analytics tools for the exploration and transformation of injury data for a major Part 121 carrier with the goal of predictive modeling. This project offers graduate students an opportunity to work with a substantial airline dataset under the supervision of a faculty member. The outcomes have the potential to lead to more extensive future projects in the realm of big data analytics. (This project is under strict NDA).

This project is in partnership with Gulfstream Aerospace Corporation under MMSE program.
Birds pose a major threat to aviation. Bird impact can lead to significant damage of the aircraft and can be sometimes catastrophic. For a damage tolerant design of an aircraft structure, the structure has to fulfill the airworthiness specifications prescribed by FAA or EASA.

This research conducted with Co-Investigators Sathya Gangadharan (ERAU) and Kristina Andrijauskaite (MUSC/UTHSCSA), funded by ERAU’s Faculty Research Development Program, was ERAU's first suborbital payload aboard Blue Origin’s New Shepard launched December 12, 2017. The main aim of this research was to investigate the effect of microgravity on T-cells and to understand how this research could be used to develop T-cell-based therapeutics for cancer patients. A second goal was to monitor the environment that T-cells encountered during suborbital flight. The recorded data will be used to better understand the behavior and functionality of the T-cells when exposed to different stressors.

The following studies were conducted with Co-PIs Dr. Sathya Gangadharan (ERAU) and Kristina Andrijauskaite (University of Texas Health Science Center in San Antonio [UTHSCSA]).
MESSI Summary: This project was ERAU's second suborbital payload aboard Blue Origin’s New Shepard launched May 2, 2019. We analyzed the effects of suborbital flight stressors and various light conditions (red, white, no light) on the Arthrospira platensis, commonly known as Spirulina, aboard Blue Origin’s New Shepard launch vehicle. Commercially available cyanobacterium species were cultivated and closely monitored in mother colonies several months before the flight. The aim was to estimate biomass production and growth as a potential dietary alternative for prospective human spaceflight's life support system.
McXIMUS Summary: Zebrafish larvae were exposed to the same physiological stressors they would encounter during suborbital space flight: alterations in light, thermal, and centrifugation conditions, and their behavioral responses were analyzed using the DanioVision (Noldus) behavioral tracking system. Our results showed that zebrafish were most active when kept in a dark environment as measured by swim distance. Also, thermal alterations revealed that zebrafish larvae adapted well to the different temperatures ranging from 25°C to 32°C with the highest levels of locomotor activity observed at 32°C. Finally, the centrifugation tests demonstrated that although zebrafish were exhausted initially, their recovery process was short, lasting for approximately five minutes.

Boiling heat transfer is used in variety of industrial processes and applications, such as refrigeration, vapor cycle power generation, heat exchangers, petroleum refining, and chemical manufacturing. Enhancements in boiling heat transfer processes are critical for making these applications more energy efficient.

- This project evaluated the pilot implementation of the Canvas Learning Management System (LMS) during the 2014-2015 academic year. Participating faculty and students were asked to complete a survey about their experiences with the new system and asked to participate in a qualitative follow-up session (focus groups with students; interviews with faculty members) to identify additional perspectives. During the transition to a new LMS, the university underwent a smaller pilot implementation to help all parties better prepare for the larger, university-wide Canvas implementation slated during the first half of 2015.

- 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.

In addition to preparing a new edition of his book Critical Issues in Homeland Security (Routledge), Dr. Ramsay is actively contributing to the advancement of intelligence education frameworks. The evolving threat landscape—marked by complex, transnational challenges such as artificial intelligence, public health crises, and climate change—has strained traditional analytic approaches and highlighted the need for enhanced strategic foresight among intelligence professionals.
