She has worked with her advisor on developing a new algorithm for sensitivity analysis of chaotic dynamical systems such as turbulent flows. This algorithm, known as space-split sensitivity or S3, provably converges to the linear response of chaotic systems to small parameter perturbations, which is essential for downstream computational applications such as optimization, uncertainty quantification and inverse problems and also for fundamental understanding of chaotic phenomena.

He currently is the Co-President of Black Graduate and Professional Student Organization, Recruitment Chair for the Mechanical & Aerospace Graduate Student Board, School of Engineering & Applied Sciences (SEAS), Co-Chair for UVA’s Graduate Recruitment Initiative Team, Member of the search committee for the Dean of Engineering, and Academic Mentor with UVA Athletics. Outside of school and research, he is a dedicated member of Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity, Inc. student, his research focuses on unmanned aerial vehicles and their safety when flying near boundaries. in Mechanical Engineering with a Minor in Material Science in 2017. He then enrolled at UVA, where he graduated with his B.S. He graduated from Highland Springs High school in Henrico County in 2013. Candidate in Mechanical & Aerospace Engineering at the University of Virginia (UVA). In my spare time, I am an avid fisherman I also enjoy long-distance running, basketball, military history, karaoke, and chess.ĭarius Carter hails from Richmond, Virginia, and is currently a Ph.D. Disciplines of interest include systems engineering, aeroacoustics, electric & hydrogen propulsion, multidisciplinary design optimization, and program management.

I hope to become a professor someday, with aircraft design as a core theme of my research group. In theory, UAM offers several advantages over existing transport solutions, including: reduced travel times, lower costs, and reduced environmental impact (in terms of noise, climate, and air quality). I also do research on Urban Air Mobility (UAM): an envisaged air taxi service, using electric vertical-takeoff-and-landing (eVTOL) aircraft with 1-4 seats for trips of approximately 100 km (62 miles) or less. It also has no moving parts, which (in theory) translates to reduced noise and maintenance costs. The proposed system promises zero fossil-fuel emissions.

Instead of using propellers, an electro-aerodynamically powered aircraft uses high voltages to ionize and accelerate the air around it, generating thrust. My PhD research is focused on electro-aerodynamic propulsion: a novel way of generating thrust using electricity. I am now pursuing my PhD, also in Aeronautics and Astronautics at MIT. I received my Bachelor’s degree in Engineering Science (Aerospace Engineering major) from the University of Toronto in 2016, and my Masters in Aeronautics and Astronautics in 2018 from MIT. Furthermore, Chiara participated in creating the UMN WoAA (Women in Aeronautics and Astronautics) chapter in 2019, and she is currently the president. She was nominated women graduates coordinator of the Aerospace department for the CSE in 2019. In the meantime, she got involved Chiara has been a graduate coordinate for WISE (Women In Science and Engineering) in the college of science and engineering (CSE) for the last two years. In the four years spent as a graduate student at the University of Minnesota (UMN), Chiara has been working on her project studying the transport properties and diffusion effects in hypersonic flow around blunt objects. Before moving to Minnesota for her Ph.D., she spent a summer as an intern at the Aero-thermodynamic branch at NASA Ames. The main focus of her thesis was molecular gas dynamic effects in rarefied flows, and it was in collaboration with the University of Urbana-Champaign, where she spent a year as a research scholar. in Aerospace engineering at the University of Pisa. She was born and raised in the south of Italy. student in Computational Hypersonic fluid dynamics at the University of Minnesota.
