HIFiRE II Direct Connect Scramjet Engine Simulation
  • PI William Engblom

  • The primary goal of this project is to develop and demonstrate a computational methodology for accurate simulation of scramjet engine internal flows. This research is currently funded by the Department of Defense via a sole source subcontract with NASA Glenn Research Center.
High Spectral Resolution Observations of Lunar Exospheric Emissions
  • PI Edwin Mierkiewicz

  • We are employing high-resolution Fabry-Perot spectroscopy of neutral sodium and potassium emission to investigate the morphology and dynamics of the lunar sodium exosphere. Likely atmosphere source mechanisms are thermal desorption, photo-desorption, ion sputtering, and meteoric impact ablation.

History of Sun-Earth Connection Scientific Research
  • PI Joseph Bassi

  • An ongoing project to better understand the history of the science of sun-earth connection, including subtopics such as sun-weather studies and "space weather"
How does Sarah McLachlan make me donate to the SPCA? Emotional Intelligence and Emotionally Laden Persuasive Appeals
  • PI Rosalee Opengart

  • This research examines the notion that a person's level of emotional intelligence serves to mediate the effect of social influence on the consumer. The purpose of this study is to examine whether emotional intelligence may mediate the impact of persuasive attempts in consumer decision- making.
How to Increase the Enrollment and Involvement of Women in the Areas of Aviation, Aeronautical Science, and Aerospace Engineering?
  • PI Dothang Truong

  • Research indicates the persistent under representation of women in aviation, aeronautical science, and aerospace engineering fields. This research presents an effort in increasing the enrollment and involvement of women in these areas using an interdisciplinary approach.
How to Successfully Implement Cloud-Based Solutions in Supply Chain Management?
  • PI Dothang Truong

  • Cloud computing has been proven to have numerous benefits for organizations, especially in supply chain management. More and more organizations have adopted cloud-based solutions to be their primary sourcing applications.
Human Behavior during Spaceflight - Evidence from an Analogue Environment
  • PI Guy Smith

    CO-I Jennifer Thropp

  • This study will examine the effects of the space environment on human performance during long-term space travel. An artificial environment will be created as an analogue of a space travel environment (specifically, an orbital environment). Relationships between earth and space environments (e.g. feelings of isolation, energy, motivation, mood etc.) will be measured.
Human Behavior While Living and Working in a Space Environment: Evidence from an Analogue Space Habitat
  • PI Guy Smith

  • This study is a follow-on to this research. This research is designed to study different aspects of the role of space participant, compared to the astronaut or space mission specialist.
Human Factors Awareness Training for FAA Aviation Safety Specialists Within Aircraft Certification and FAA Flight Standards
  • PI Scott Martin

  • In this project, which is funded by the FAA, Embry‑Riddle and Kent University will develop training for individuals within the FAA’s Aviation Safety Flight Standards Service who have expertise and job responsibilities related to the evaluation of aircraft systems design, maintenance, operations, procedures and pilot performance.

ICARUS Drone Net
  • PI Samuel Siewert

    CO-I Iacopo Gentilini

    CO-I Mehran Andalibi

    CO-I Stephen Bruder

  • Drone Net is a conceptual architecture to integrate passive sensor nodes in a local sensor network along with traditional active sensing methods for small Unmanned Aerial Systems traffic management. The goal of the proposed research architecture is to evaluate use of multiple passive sensor nodes integrating Electro-Optical/Infrared and acoustic arrays networked around a UAS Traffic Management operating region (Class G uncontrolled airspace). The Drone Net approach will be compared to and/or used in addition to RADAR and Automatic Dependent Surveillance-Broadcast tracking and identification.  We hypothesize that this approach can better manage non-compliant small UAS along with compliant UAS and general aviation in sensitive airspace, urban locations, and geo-fenced regions. 

Ice Cloud Parameterizations and Aircraft Icing
  • PI Dorothea Ivanova

  • Ice and mixed phase clouds have an important impact on aviation, but they are often poorly represented in the models.
