Generational Violence: Examining the Radicalization Process of Northern Ireland’s Youth
  • CO-I Sean Herman

    CO-I Amy Grubb

  • This project seeks to understand the mechanism by which young people are becoming radicalized members of paramilitary organizations on both the Republican and Loyalist sides of the conflict.
Gold Standards Training and Evaluator Calibration of Pilot School Check Instructors
  • PI Paul Cairns

    CO-I Andrew Dattel

  • ​A key component of air carrier advanced qualification programs is the calibration and training of instructors and evaluators and assurance of reliable and valid data in support of such programs. A significant amount of research is available concerning the calibration of air carrier evaluators, but no research exists regarding the calibration of pilot school check instructors. This study was designed to determine if pilot school check instructors can be calibrated against a gold standard to perform reliable and accurate evaluations.
Grammar Pyramid
  • PI Ronald Serra

  • Prioritizing language acquisition for ESL students.
Graphics Tools for Meteorology Research and Education
  • PI Mark Sinclair

  • A software package called MADS (Meteorological Analysis and Diagnostic Software) is being developed to provide gridded data (both archived and real-time) and graphical software to produce maps, cross-sections, vertical profiles, time series graphs and statistical (climatological) displays of a large number of basic and derived quantities.

  • Einstein’s theory of General Relativity offers a remarkable description of gravity as curved space and time. Many of the consequences of this theory have been confirmed, and some are used daily, such as the gravitational redshift effect on GPS satellite atomic clocks. In 2015, the first observation of a gravitational wave from two inspiraling black holes occurred using the gravitational wave observatories as part of the worldwide LIGO-VIRGO collaboration. This discovery won the Nobel prize, and the observations of these events have continued, including a multi-messenger event of two colliding neutron stars.

Gravitational Physics and Cosmology
  • PI Quentin Bailey

    CO-I Andri Gretarsson

    CO-I Michele Zanolin

    CO-I Brennan Hughey

  • To date, Einstein's General Theory of Relativity is the best current fundamental theory of gravity. This fascinating theory describes gravity as the curvature of space and time itself. As esoteric as it sounds, results from Einstein's theory are put to use every day in high-precision Global Positioning System (GPS) navigation.

Green Supply Chains
  • PI Aman Gupta

    CO-I Mohammed Arif

  • This research attempts to create a model for assessment of green supply chains for the aviation and aerospace manufacturing industry. We have developed a model using review of the existing literature. We have identified 19 drivers, 14 barriers, green supply chain practices in the areas including, purchasing, design, production, management, logistics, and marketing, and multiple firm's performance measures. Green drivers, barriers, green supply chain practices and firm performance measures' interactions are examined
GUMP: General Urban Area Microclimate Predictions Tool
  • PI Kevin Adkins

    CO-I Nickolas Macchiarella

    CO-I National Aeronautics and Space Administration NASA

  • Hyperlocal weather predictions are often necessary in order to determine whether a particular sUAS route will be safe to fly. The General Urban area Microclimate Predictions tool (GUMP) seeks to provide such predictions through the use of machine learning (ML) models and computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulations. The computed wind flow field is converted into an intuitive risk map for sUAS operators through the use of appropriate thresholds on wind velocities.

Hazard Detection and Avoidance for Lunar Landing
  • PI Troy Henderson

  • This project develops and demonstrates algorithms for detecting and avoiding areas of large rocks and high slopes for a lunar lander
Heuristic Approach for the Vendor Managed Inventory Problem
  • PI Soumia Ichoua

  • In this project, we consider the Vendor Managed Inventory Problem. We propose a rolling horizon approach where a schedule is repeatedly constructed over a fixed number of time periods using a tabu search heuristic.
Hidden Dangers on the Flight Deck: A Stakeholder Analysis of the Issues Surrounding Commercial Pilot Mental Health
  • PI Mark Miller

    CO-I Katie Coleman Assad

  • A comprehensive stakeholder analysis of commercial pilot mental health in the US.
