Representative engagements spanning the three pillars of the firm — wind tunnel end-to-end, ML/AI integration, and data-driven control. Many active programs are not listed publicly.
End-to-end test campaign for a customer developing a high-speed flight vehicle. Multi-entry test program in the subsonic regime — angle-of-attack and sideslip databases, configuration deltas (control surfaces, landing gear, leading-edge devices), in-ground effect, and integrated angularity correction.
Stability and control characterization of a tailless aircraft configuration: the vertical stabilizer was removed from an F-16 baseline and a bio-inspired rotating empennage was evaluated as a yaw-authority surrogate. Combined CFD and wind-tunnel evaluation across the flight envelope, with cadet researchers carrying the analysis.
A production PyTorch + Streamlit estimation tool predicting wave elevation seconds ahead of a wave-energy converter from upstream sensor measurements. Supports Airy, Stokes, JONSWAP, and Bretschneider spectra, directional fields, multi-horizon prediction, and export to LabVIEW real-time targets. Demonstrates the firm's ML/AI integration pillar applied directly inside a production engineering control loop.
A wind-tunnel methodology that closes the loop between aerodynamic loads and structural response in real time — replicating in-flight dynamics on a stationary model and collapsing a traditional flight-test feedback loop into a controlled laboratory environment. Direct demonstration of pillars 01 (end-to-end tunnel) and 03 (hardware-in-the-loop control).
Foundational work in reduced-order, data-driven modeling for closed-loop control of unsteady flows. Identification of a low-dimensional model of the transient cylinder wake using double-POD — capturing nonlinear transient behavior in a minimum number of modes and enabling model-reference adaptive control of the shedding instability.
Coupled experimental–computational characterization of optical aberration through the turbulent wake of an airborne turret. POD-based decomposition of the dominant temporal jitter modes — informing closed-loop adaptive-optics designs for in-flight beam control.
Hydrodynamic adaptation of a cycloidal rotor for direct mechanical wave-energy capture — companion to the real-time wave-estimation work. Test article design, controller synthesis, and efficiency benchmarking across a sea-state envelope.
Most of our active work is under restricted distribution. The conversation is not.
