Free-Flying Unmanned Robotic Spacecraft for Asteroid Resource Prospecting and Characterization Phase II

  • PI Hever Moncayo

    CO-I Richard Prazenica

  • ​In this project, ²ÝÝ®ÊÓƵ (ERAU) and Honeybee Robotics (HBR) are developing an integrated autonomous free-flyer robotic spacecraft system to support the exploration and subsequent resource utilization of asteroids as well as other planetary bodies and moons. The proposed spacecraft will address the first step towards In Situ Resource Utilization from Near Earth Object bodies; namely it will prospect it with sample acquisition devices and characterize the NEO for ISRU potential. 
From degree to Chief Information Security Officer (CISO): A framework for consideration

  • CO-I Martha Harrell

  • Research findings from this study demonstrate a framework in which to examine the required skills of a Chief Information Security Officer (CISO), with consideration of the relationship between the (a) Chief Executive Officer (CEO), (b) Chief Finance Officer (CFO), (c) Chief Information Officer (CIO), (d) Chief Information Security Officer (CISO), (e) Chief Risk Officer (CRO), and (f) Chief Security Officer (CSO) within the Information Security and Assurance field and the needs of both industry and academia. Participants were asked to complete a 10-15 minute survey conducted between various CISOs and academicians. 
Fuel Mixing Diffusers

  • PI Ciprian Mancas

    CO-I Andrei Ludu

  • The problem of mixing fuel from a diffuser is inherent to the automotive field. The most turbulent flow over a diffuser allows the fuels to mix efficiently, which in turn, maximizes the efficiency of the diffuser. A high ratio of natural gas to diesel is desired to provide efficient ignition.
Fuel Slosh

  • PI Sathya Gangadharan

  • 2014 marks the eleventh year of Fuel Slosh studies that have been carried out at ²ÝÝ®ÊÓƵ. Initially funded by NASA Graduate Student Research Program (GSRP) along with Southwest Research Institute, the research was started by Keith Schlee, a graduate student, under the guidance of Dr. Sathya Gangadharan, professor at Embry-Riddle.
Fundamental Experimental and Numerical Combustion Study of H2 Containing Fuels for Gas Turbines

  • PI Scott Martin

  • This project is a University Turbine Systems research grant funded by the Department of Energy.  In collaboration with the University of Central Florida, Purdue University and the University of New Mexico, Embry‑Riddle will develop fundamental data and modeling of H2 and NH3 fuels for gas turbine power plants.

Fusing Satellite and Drone Data with GIS to Create New Analytical Decision Support Tools for Varying Farm Types

  • PI Kevin Adkins

    PI Nickolas Macchiarella

    CO-I Ronny Schroeder

    CO-I University of Michigan School for Environment and Sustainability (SEAS) and the Department of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology

  • The synergy between moderate resolution satellite imagery and fine resolution drone imagery, LiDAR data, and meteorological data, along with generally available GIS data, must be identified and optimized. These data will be integrated to produce a variety of products that help identify what tools, inputs, and management strategies most effectively contribute to an increase in the productivity and resilience of an important agricultural system to a major weather or climate related disturbance.

GA Airport funding strategies

  • PI Massoud Bazargan

  • The purpose of this study was to investigate the current financial environment of publicly owned and operated general aviation airports, and to develop an outlook for future potential.
GAANN

  • CO-I William Engblom

    CO-I J. Gordon Leishman

  • This project is sponsored by the Department of Education Graduate Assistance in Areas of National Need (GAANN) fellowship program to support six to 10 Ph.D. students of high ability and financial need in the Department of Aerospace Engineering at ²ÝÝ®ÊÓƵ.
Gap or Risk Analysis for UAS

  • PI Timothy Wilson

  • This project performed (1) a regulatory gap analysis regarding UAS propulsion systems and (2) a risk analysis of such systems.
General Aviation Aircraft In-Flight Load Data Collection and Analysis

  • PI Richard Anderson

  • The scope of the project is to re-asses the fatigue evaluation data for empennage and wing structures of small airplanes.
General Aviation Safety Analysis

  • PI Massoud Bazargan

  • Extensive statistical and data mining methods were implemented to find patterns among fatal and non-fatal GA accidents.
General Relativity and Quantum Gravity

  • PI Charles Vuille

  • Dr. Vuille's research is in the area of Einstein's Theory of General Relativity, particularly on the interface between gravitation and quantum theory. Currently he is working on solutions to Einstein's equations for massless quantum scalar fields and on the gravity field of nucleons and quarks in a study of the Einstein-Maxwell-Proca equations.
