Innovative Research Activities
Inspired by the innovative spirit of the Wright brothers, the College of
Engineering and Computer Science is always pushing the envelope with research in
emerging technologies, such as alternative energy sources, nanotechnologies,
wireless communications and devices, and field-programmable gate arrays (FPGAs).
Last year the College was awarded $18 million in research funding from sponsors
such as the Department of Defense, NASA, and the National Science Foundation.
In association with daytaOhio, the College will welcome its first LexisNexis
Eminent Scholar for Advanced Data Management and Analysis. This position will
provide research leadership to daytaOhio by encouraging entrepreneurship and
technology transfer, as well as mentoring graduate students.

Ensuring airframe structural integrity requires sophisticated
analysis and design for flutter and limit cycle oscillation.

|
One of the key elements in building airframes is developing materials that
provide the needed structural integrity. This research focuses on dealing with
the problem of airframe integrity by optimizing structural design. The goal is
to maximize performance while minimizing weight. This research specifically
looks at hypersonic vehicle design using multi-physics modeling of flow-behavior
with high fidelity simulations. It integrates aerodynamics, structures, and
controls with reduced-order systems for computationally efficient preliminary
designs.
