University of Central Florida researchers are building on their technology that could pave the way for hypersonic flight, such as travel from New York to Los Angeles in under 30 minutes. In their latest research published Monday in the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, the researchers discovered a way to stabilize the […]

The Showcase of Undergraduate Research Excellence and the Graduate Research Forum are long-standing traditions for students at UCF. This year — when everything is anything but traditional — the events were combined into the Student Scholar Symposium, the main event of UCF’s Student Research Week. Many MAE students presented at this year’s symposium, which was […]

A new study from the University of Central Florida suggests that masks and a good ventilation system are more important than social distancing for reducing the airborne spread of COVID-19 in classrooms. The research, published recently in the journal Physics of Fluids, comes at a critical time when schools and universities are considering returning to […]

Since childhood, Quentin Fouliard, Ph.D., has always been fascinated with air transportation and how to make things faster, more efficient, easier and safer. Yet, it wasn’t until his graduate studies in Sevilla, Spain, that Fouliard realized how he wanted to apply those interests. “I was taking a specialization on thin films and ceramic coatings, and […]
