A Theoretical and Numerical Study of Turbulent Wind-Wave Interaction
… is critical for many applications, such as weather modeling in the marine environment, navigation safety of marine vehicles, and offshore wind energy harvesting. The present understanding of the fundamental flow dynamics underlying wind-wave interactions is far from enough due to our limited …

Decision tree application to satellite measurement and analysis of exospheric neutral densities
… Integrator (HEIDI) model coupled with the Space Weather Modeling Framework (SWMF). This approach provides insight into the role of neutral constituents of Earth’s exosphere in the overall magnetosphere dynamics.

Weather effect considerations in reliability evaluation of electrical transmission and distribution systems
The weather environment has a significant impact on the reliability of a power system due to its effect on the system failure mechanisms of overhead circuits and on the operational ability of an electric power utility. The physical stresses created by weather increase the failure rates of …

Battery-Free Subsea Internet-of-Things
… oceanographic applications (across climate/weather modeling, marine biology, aquaculture, and defense). However, standard IoT technologies (e.g, Bluetooth, WiFi, GPS) cannot operate underwater, which has left 70% of our planet (the ocean) beyond their reach. In this thesis, I describe how we …

Identification of Unsteady Flight Dynamic Models and Model-based Wind Estimation with Flight Test Validation
Numerical weather modeling can benefit from improved wind sensing in the Earth's atmospheric boundary layer (ABL). Small, low-cost, uncrewed aircraft (drones) can be used to measure wind and a distribution of these vehicles could potentially provide measurements with much greater density and …

Solar Wind-Magnetosphere Coupling: A Global Perspective of Reconnection in the Magnetotail
… in maximum detail for this event using the Space Weather Modeling Framework/Block Adaptive Tree Solar-wind Roe Upwind Scheme (SWMF/BATS-R-US) model from NASA’s Community Coordinated Modeling Center (CCMC) with a special, high resolution grid. The results of this work will be highly relevant to …

Slot-Exchange Mechanisms and Weather-Based Rerouting within an Airspace Planning and Collaborative Decision-Making Model
We develop and evaluate two significant modeling concepts within the context of a large-scale Airspace Planning and Collaborative Decision-Making Model (APCDM) and, thereby, enhance its current functionality in support of both strategic and tactical level flight assessments. The first major concept …
