- Autonomous robotic systems are appearing across land, sea, air, and space. To perform sophisticated tasks in...
Iain Boyd was interviewed by National Geographic for an article on a resurgence in supersonic passenger jet research. Such flights have been unavailable to the public since the retirement of the Concorde in 2003. The
My research group has taken three CubeSat missions from proposal to orbit over the past six years. Initiated in the uncertain months of early 2020, AEPEX, CANVAS, and COSMO have gone...
Autonomous aerospace vehicles can tackle challenges ranging from collecting scientific data in hazardous environments to defending against swarms of attacking drones in ways that are impossible for...
The global cryosphere is undergoing rapid transformation. A missing component of snow and ice melt projections is biologically driven albedo reduction from algal blooms growing on snow and...
When we picture space robotics, Mars rovers and the ISS robotic arm usually steal the show. Yet the past decade has sparked a quiet revolution in how robots enable novel science and...
Radar remote sensing observations are critical for understanding and predicting our evolving Earth and planetary systems. However, traditional radars must transmit their...
A critical phase of both spaceflight at Earth and exploration of planetary bodies is hypersonic atmospheric entry. During this...- Understanding hypersonic flowfields is important for vehicle design for both space exploration and national defense applications. However, computational models for hypersonic flows require coupling a variety of...
Measuring temporal changes in Earth’s gravity field provides a unique way to monitor redistribution of water and ice associated with processes such as...
