Information aware flight path design for flow field estimation and performance investigation of active flow control aircraft controllers
(2022-12)
This thesis discusses the feasibility and performance of implementing a COTS reciprocating piston compressor for a developed active flow control (AFC) actuation framework to quantify the aerospace-relevant performance ...
Multi-insect visual tracking and system identification techniques for inflight feedback interaction analysis
(2021-07)
Individual insects flying in crowded assemblies perform complex aerial maneuvers by small changes in their wing motions. To understand the individual feedback rules that permit these fast, adaptive behaviors in group flight, ...
Quadcopter Trajectory Prediction and Wind Estimation Using Machine Learning
(2019-07)
Small unmanned aerial systems are heavily impacted by wind disturbances. Wind causes deviations from desired trajectories, potentially leading to crashes. In this thesis, we consider two inherently related problems: ...
Measurement and magnitude-based system identification of tornado-associated infrasound
(2021-07)
Recent evidence indicates that acoustic waves at frequencies below human hearing (infrasound) are produced during tornadogenesis and continue through the life of a tornado. The currently available tornadic infrasound data ...
