ECpE’s Zheng receives NSF grant for proposing reliable HPC file system checkers to prevent data corruption
Most likely, all of us have data that we don’t want to lose. But how do we know that data will be reliably kept? Where is it stored, and how does it stay secure? In national labs, large companies or universities, a high-performance computing (HPC) center is often needed to store large quantities …Continue reading “ECpE’s Zheng receives NSF grant for proposing reliable HPC file system checkers to prevent data corruption”

Synergy between research and application: Project collaboration with CoMFRE and student organization
We put a lot of things in a kitchen microwave, from Hot Pockets to leftover lasagna. But what about rocket propellant?
That’s essentially what Travis Sippel and his team are doing in a Young Investigator Project (YIP) with the Air Force Office of Scientific Research. More specifically (and more safely), they are testing methods to dynamically control the combustion of a solid rocket propellant by applying microwave energy.
