This research opportunity at the DEVCOM Army Research Laboratory focuses on the control of structurally adaptive small unmanned aerial systems (UAS). The project is centered on enabling unusual and highly maneuverable flight behaviors for Army-relevant small aircraft operating in congested, low-altitude environments. The work addresses the control challenges created by compliant and adaptive structures designed for complex behaviors such as high-speed object avoidance, perching, and soaring. A m...

Postdoc opportunity at Delft University of Technology (TU Delft) in the Faculty of Aerospace Engineering. This postdoctoral project focuses on observations of aircraft contrails and on using those observations to evaluate and improve contrail prediction models . Contrails are described as a major contributor to aviation’s climate impact, and the research goal is to support contrail avoidance strategies by reducing uncertainty in model predictions of where contrails persist and how much impact th...
