Christos Cassandras is Engineering Safer Vehicles
Christos Cassandras (SE, ECE) has spent more than 40 years studying how computers and machines make decisions. Lately, his work has focused on a problem nearly every driver knows well: sitting at a red light with no cross traffic in sight, wondering why it takes so long for the light to turn green. He is […]
Tiny Water Droplets Can Ground Billion-Dollar Supersonic Vehicles. BU Engineers Are Working to Change That
Rockets, regularly blasted into space by companies such as SpaceX and agencies including NASA, are meticulously designed to withstand the harshest of environments. Engineers construct the bodies from heavy-duty aluminum-lithium and stainless steel alloys, but the equipment can be devastated by something as minuscule as pinpricks of water; as spacecraft sail through the atmosphere at supersonic speeds, a single droplet can hit with more force than a bullet, cutting directly through the metal or pitting it until it resembles the surface of the moon.
