NASA/ZeroG Microgravity Research

  • CO-I Pedro LLanos

    CO-I Sathya Gangadharan

  • ²ÝÝ®ÊÓƵ and Carthage College proposed a technology demonstration that has several advantages over passive slosh control. Relative to slosh baffles, the proposed MAPMD technology has a lower total mass, a much higher degree of surface wave suppression, and less volumetric intrusion into the tank. The MAPMD concept also is optimized for cylindrical tanks (unlike elastomeric diaphragms, which work only in spherical pressure vessels), and currently requires no structural design changes to existing cylindrical propellant tanks.
NASA’s Embry-Riddle High-Altitude Science Experiment Rig (ERHASER)

  • PI Pedro LLanos

    CO-I Sathya Gangadharan

  • The purpose of this study aboard the NASA’s Airborne Science Program WB-57 aircraft was to assess the effect of radiation on murine naïve and activated T lymphocytes (T cells) and to test the effectiveness of thermal, radiation and flight tracking technology in biological scientific payloads. Flight cells were kept under proper environmental conditions by using an active thermal system, whereas the levels of radiation were measured by NASA’s Timepix radiation sensor during ascent, cruise at 60,000 feet, and descent.
Natural Fiber Reinforced Polymer (NFRP) Composites

  • PI Birce Dikici

  • This research is directed toward understanding the thermophysical and nanomechanical properties of NFRP composites in order to predict and optimize the behavior of the final product.

Navigation and Control for Autonomous Vessels

  • PI Darris White

    PI Eric Coyle

    PI Patrick Currier

  • Development of closed-form solution for control of over-actuated maritime systems.
Neuromuscular-Activated Armband for Safety Operation of Small Unmanned Aircraft Systems

  • CO-I Eduardo Divo

    CO-I Victor Huayamave

    CO-I Jeremy Brown

  • The goal of this research is to implement wearable technology using neuromuscular activation and electrocardiograms signals to successfully operate small UAS using safety parameters proposed by the FAA.
New Adjunct Outreach Study

  • PI Cristina Cottom

    CO-I Sara Ombres

    CO-I Angela Atwell

    CO-I Lisa Martino

  • The purpose of this causal-comparative study is to test if an increase in communication through emails and phone calls from the Rothwell Center for Teaching and Learning (CTLE-W) team to first time ²ÝÝ®ÊÓƵ-Worldwide (ERAU-W) adjunct faculty during their first term teaching will increase utilization of CTLE-W resources such as EV-Anars (an EV-Anar is a 20 minute monthly session that covers basic teaching topics hosted in EagleVision and presented by CTLE-W, and ends with an open Q&A and general dialogue with faculty), Discussions, visits to the CTLE-W Resource Site, outreach to the CTLE-W team (email and/or phone), and CTLE-W office hours compared to first time ERAU-Worldwide adjunct faculty who do not receive increased communication from CTLE-W.

NextGen Task G 4D FMS TBO Demonstration Benefits Analyses

  • PI Massoud Bazargan

  • The goal of the project was to leverage existing technology and Flight Management System (FMS) capabilities as a starting point to define standards and requirements for trajectory exchange, time of arrival control, and other building blocks.
NextGen Task J: Implementation of NextGen Air Traffic Management system. Integrated Airport Initiative. Benefit-Cost Analysis of Aircraft Arrival Management Systems (AAMS)

  • PI Vitaly Guzhva

    CO-I Ahmed Abdelghany

  • The main task was to evaluate AAMS implemented at CLT (with US Airways) and MSP (with Delta Airlines) and quantify its costs and benefits.
Next-Generation Air Transportation System (NextGen) Weather Research

  • PI John Lanicci

  • Various activities in support of NextGen weather research, development, and testing of new capabilities.
NOAA UAS for In-Situ Tropical Cyclone Sensing

  • PI Massood Towhidnejad

    CO-I Ilteris Demirkiran

    CO-I Richard Stansbury

  • For this project, Embry-Riddle faculty and students are collaborating with the sponsor, the National Oceanographic and Atmospheric Administration, to produce an unmanned aircraft supporting in-situ sensing of a tropical cyclone environment near the ocean surface.
Non-Commutative Ring Theory

  • PI Hisaya Tsutsui

  • Specific interests include prime and primitive Noetherian rings and injective modules. My research interests are in the area of non-commutative ring theory. A ring is a set on which two binary operations are defined. Concrete examples of such an abstract model include the set of integers with usual addition and multiplications, and the set of n by n matrices over a ring with the well-known addition and the multiplication.

Novel n x n Bit-Serial Multiplier Architecture Optimized for Field Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGA)

  • PI Akhan Almagambetov

    CO-I David Feinauer

    CO-I Holly Ross

  • Bit-serial multipliers have a variety of applications, from the implementation of neural networks to cryptography. The advantage of a bit-serial multiplier is its relatively small footprint, when implemented on a Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) device. Despite their apparent advantages, however, traditional bit-serial multipliers typically require a substantial overhead, in terms of component usage, which directly translates to a large area of the chip being reserved while many of those resources are unused.

    This research addresses the possibility of an efficient two's complement bit-serial multiplier (serial-serial multiplier) implementation that would minimize flip-flop and control set usage on an FPGA device, thereby potentially reducing the overall area of the circuit. Since the proposed architecture is modular, it functions as a "generic" definition that can be effortlessly implemented on an FPGA device for any number of bits.
