Stratospheric balloons operate above more than 99% of the Earth’s atmosphere, allowing astronomers to observe colours of light that would otherwise be blocked or blurred by the atmosphere at only a tiny fraction of the cost of an equivalent space telescope. However, it is very challenging to ensure that to telescopes are pointing the right […]

This project explores how countries are managing the shift from fossil fuels to clean energy, with a focus on just energy transitions that aim to provide an equitable transition for workers and local communities. The research focuses on Colombia’s national state-led just transition plan. By conducting on-the-ground fieldwork, the project will examine whether the financial […]

New rocket share technology has made putting things in space (particularly in low orbits around the Earth) cheaper than ever before. In this project the student intern will help to prepare a new type of small satellite, the InspireSAT from StarSpec Technologies Inc., which will have a first launch in late June or July 2026. […]

With recent advancements in Large Language Models (LLMs) designed for coding, Artificial Intelligence for Software Engineering (AI4SE) remains pivotal in enhancing both developer productivity and software quality. However, to excel at more specialized SE tasks like code transformation, companies still need to optimize LLMs to their specific context to avoid LLMs’ tendency to “hallucinate”, i.e., […]

Water quality concerns, such as algae blooms, are common in many aquatic systems across the country. Increasing development along waterfront properties and climate change are leading stressors causing poor water quality. In this project, an intern will apply a three-dimensional computer model to help understand how these stressors are contributing to poor water in Mississippi […]

Turbulence significantly affects the aerodynamic drag of aircraft. Reducing its impact can result in substantial economic benefits to the aerospace industry and to the public, principally in terms of reduced fuel consumption and, therefore, lower operational costs. One of the main causes of turbulence, on an engine nacelle, is the presence of surface imperfections: gaps […]

The objective of the research is to provide international development agencies and non-governmental organizations (NGOs) with decision making and evaluation tools that are practical and, at the same time, are based on sound academic foundations. These tools are specific to a sector, such as nutrition, and a country, such as Guatemala. The resulting documents will […]

Research shows that many business employees are disengaged with their work, leading to numerous negative outcomes such as reduced productivity and burnout. The use of creativity and intuition have been suggested as two potential avenues for resolving these issues. However, there is a lack of direction for how these concepts can be practically applied in […]

The vast number of positive outcomes associated with participation in sport and physical activity (PA) has led to community initiatives to enhance youth participation in sport and PA. In Guadalajara Mexico, municipalities are offering free sport and PA programs and spaces, but uptake by youth in some areas of the city remains quite poor. Thus, […]
