A doctoral student in AAE received the award for his work that suggested a framework for Earth-based construction failure analysis. This framework could eventually lead to more reliable structures in space.

Maaninee Gupta is one of the recipients of this prestigious annual fellowship, which supports women in the aerospace industry.

The summit was organized around a set of generative brainstorming sessions where all of the participants contributed ideas towards enabling trusted autonomous systems.

Ronak Dave, a Purdue AAE alum recently selected as a NASA flight director, will lead missions to the ISS and prepare for lunar missions with NASA’s Artemis program. Listen on the “This Is Purdue” podcast, hosted by Kate Young.

Motivated by the collapse of the Champlain Towers in Florida, students in this Air Force-funded course are learning to program drones that could help locate people trapped inside a fallen building

Five Purdue engineering students demonstrated how electrified aviation will place unprecedented demand on the power grid, and proposed a sophisticated solution to balance a UAM operator's significant energy needs.

Liam Robinson, an undergraduate student aeronautics and astronautics, wondered if there was a way to tell the shape of a passing satellite by analyzing the way it shone in the night sky. This led him to a research opportunity with Associate Professor Carolin Frueh.

We've sent many probes, landers, and rovers to Mars, but we've never been able to send anything back from the Red Planet. That may change, thanks to some Purdue researchers who have successfully demonstrated a solid rocket propellant using the same perchlorates found in Martian soil.
