Ian Geraghty (AeroEngr BS'19) is in the middle of yearlong research experience in one of the most inaccessible and extreme places on Earth: Antarctica. He's using lidar -- a pulsed laser system -- aimed at the sky to study the atmosphere at altitudes so high Earth weather and space weather interact.

Hank Scott, a lecturer in Smead Aerospace, and Kevin VanLiere (MechEngr BS'95) are working to improve the design of the middle seat on airplanes. They've received major media attention for their startup, Molon Labe Seating, which has just received

Jeff Forbes is working on a research project slated for the International Space Station (ISS) to help us better understand and forecast conditions on the edge of space. NASA is funding the Atmospheric Waves Experiment (AWE) to analyze gravity (or “buoyancy”) waves in a region of the upper atmosphere that can cause disruptions in...
