Kevin Adkins
Earth & Environmental Science
Measure the surface energy budget and key weather variables continuously with a 30-meter flux tower in coastal Florida, to identify when sea-breeze boundaries and circulations pass the site.
Edwin Mierkiewicz
Earth & Environmental Science
Measure hydrogen Balmer-alpha and Balmer-beta glow from ground observatories across the Americas, using Fabry–Perot interferometers and photometers, to fill nightside gaps left by NASA's Carruthers Geocorona Observatory.
Yue Zhou
Engineering
Measure how directed energy deposition settings affect both short-range clustering and overall 3D uniformity of micro-scale ceramic particles in printed metal matrix composites, using controlled experiments and advanced characterization.
Kun Zhang
Earth & Environmental Science
Measure how the reflection rate, velocity, temperatures and velocity distribution types of freshly reflected ions at Earth's bow shock depend on solar wind speed, interplanetary magnetic field, Mach number, beta and shock angle, using satellite measurements.
Jun Li
Engineering
Develop direct mesoscale simulations of 3D printing that couple heat, mechanical forces, chemistry and fluid-structure interactions, to show how temperature gradients and melting between filaments and reinforcing fibers lead to micro-cracks.
