The project combines expertise and talent from the US and Japan in a multidisciplinary program to address fundamental aspects of flapping wing flight in Martian atmosphere.
Standing L to R: Drs. Zhang, Fahimi, Kang, and Griffin. Kneeling: Drs. Landrum and Mesmer.
Jeremy is currently a doctoral student in the Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering department at The University of Alabama in Huntsville. He is currently developing a tightly coupled Navier-Stokes and flight dynamics (NSFD) solver for flapping wing, insect-scale flyers. The NSFD code is implemented to computationally model solutions for flapping wing flight on Mars.
Giulia is currently authoring her thesis on, among other topics, the use of storytelling to improve case studies and impact of story types in engineering preference communication. She is also examining similarities of milestones in theatre productions and systems engineering. Her research aims to improve preference communication in systems engineering. Her research in theatre, on the other hand, aims to improve interactions within a system by using theatre productions as surrogates.
Jesse is currently researching pressure cases for cameras in near vacuum environments. The aim of his research is to facilitate the use of cameras to monitor flight tests in the PRC vacuum chamber.
