Drone Innovations

Associate Professor of Aerospace Engineering Raghvendra Cowlagi and his research teams are focused on engineering unmanned aerial vehicles, more commonly known as drones, to fly autonomously while accomplishing complex tasks related to emergency response and disaster management, rather than just traveling from Point A to Point B.

Monitoring Contaminants in Ocean Waters

Researchers Nikolaos Gatsonis and Michael Demetriou have been awarded nearly $350,000 by the U.S. Navy to develop a computational model that will use data from a network of autonomous underwater vehicles to estimate in real time the concentration and source of a contaminant liquid or gas plume as it moves and diffuses through ocean waters.

Improving Education Accessibility

Crystal Brown, assistant professor in the Department of Social Science and Policy Studies, is co-PI on a project focused on funding a scholarship program for computer science students from low-income backgrounds. The project, known as the Path to Achieving Success and Sense of Belonging in Computer Science (PASS-CS), is funded by a $2.5 million grant from the National Science Foundation.
