Aerospace engineering graduate students awarded DoD SMART Scholarships

Alton Stoute and Rehman Qureshi will begin assignments this summer at the U.S. Army Research Lab Proving Grounds in Aberdeen, Maryland, and Air Force Research Laboratory in Rome, New York, respectively.
Interdisciplinary team to explore stress response with major NSF award

A team of Auburn University faculty from departments across three disciplines will use a nearly $2 million National Science Foundation award to look at how environmental stressors initiate and prime stress responses, and when those responses influence an animal’s ability to pass genes to next generations.

NSF-funded project to study multiscale high-speed impacts on materials

High speed impacts occur often in the aerospace and defense industries – from a bird striking an airplane to a micrometeorite colliding with a satellite. Understanding how materials such as plastics, metals and ceramics that make up airplanes and satellites respond to high-speed impacts can help engineers to design strong, lightweight and impact-resistant structures.
