🚀 Reach for the Stars this Holiday Season! 🚀 With support from our amazing community, the sky is not the limit! Wishing you and yours a joyous holiday season and an enjoyable winter break. 🤘 We can’t wait to see y’all back on campus in 2025!

A Texas-sized congratulations to our Fall 2024 students who are graduating this semester - y'all made it! 🎓 🚀 We enjoyed celebrating with you at our Caps, Coffee & Confections event and encourage you to stay in touch by sending us your updates via our alumni form: https://lnkd.in/g4SyKPhy Hook 'em horns! 🤘 View more photos: https://lnkd.in/gw38XyWb #TheSkyIsNotTheLimit #TexasEngineering #LonghornNation

With new funding from the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA), Fabrizio Bisetti is leading a research team that aims to greatly improve turbulent flow modeling using advanced machine learning techniques: https://lnkd.in/gPyMmP7w #TurbulenceModeling #AI #ML #TexasEngineering Cockrell School of Engineering, The University of Texas at Austin | Harvard University | The Johns Hopkins University | University of Texas Center for Space Research | UT Austin Research | University of Michigan - Ann Arbor

Congratulations to alumna Hailey Nichols on her successful entrepreneurial journey that began here at Aerospace Engineering and Engineering Mechanics, The University of Texas at Austin as part of the #LaunchTexas program. You're an inspiration to our future #TexasEngineering entrepreneurs, Hailey! 🚀 🤘 Cockrell School of Engineering, The University of Texas at Austin | Texas Innovation Center

Dr. Rausch’s soft tissue biomechanics lab and the clinical neuroscience division at the Dell Medical School (Dr. Saber’s lab) have a joint opening in neurovascular biomechanics for imaging- and modeling-based treatment optimization of strokes. Please share widely 🙏 ! More information on the soft tissue biomechanics lab: www.manuelrausch.com. More information about the project: A major component of this project will be the development of in-silico and computational models of ischemic strokes and thrombectomy for image-based patient-specific analysis and treatment. The applicant will directly interact with clinical faculty and research staff to assist in acquiring clinical images of the human neurovascular system. The applicant will also work with Dr. Rausch to conduct experiments on in-vitro and in-vivo blood clots, develop novel imaging protocols, and build numerical models of patient-specific clots and vascular anatomy for treatment optimization.

Congratulations to a group of aerospace engineering seniors whose team “AETHER-NET” is one of ten teams across the nation selected as finalists in the 2025 NASA SUITS (Spacesuit User Interface Technologies for Students) challenge! For this year’s challenge, college students from across the U.S. were invited to design concepts for an augmented reality display and controls method that could someday be integrated into future generations of spacesuits as part of NASA’s Moon to Mars strategy. Teams will work with NASA mentors to fully develop their concepts over the next several months, then in May 2025, students will travel to NASA - National Aeronautics and Space Administration Johnson Space Center to test their project in an analog lunar environment. “As we approach the mock EVA testing at NASA’s Johnson Space Center in May 2025, I can’t wait to see our designs in action and showcase them to NASA engineers. This is a once-in-a-lifetime chance to work on a project that could impact human spaceflight, and I’m thrilled to be part of it. Let’s continue pushing the boundaries of innovation and exploration!” – Jeremiah Do, AETHER-NET Project Manager and Team Lead Check out the NASA Suits 2025 Selection Show for more details and accepted team reveal: https://lnkd.in/gP4T6kGc We can’t wait to see how our Texas Engineers do in the competition. Stay tuned for updates this coming spring. Hook ‘em! 🚀 🤘 AETHER-NET was formed as part of the senior capstone Spacecraft Mission and Design course in Aerospace Engineering and Engineering Mechanics, The University of Texas at Austin. Adam Nokes, a lecturer at UT Austin, teaches the course and serves as the team’s faculty advisor. Team members include Jeremiah Do, Nathaniel Beasley, Melanie Donate, Angel Garcia, Richard Guarneros and Dominic Nguyen.

We're thrilled to see two of our alumni elected as 2025 AIAA Fellows! Congratulations to Mason Peck of Cornell University and John Carson of NASA - National Aeronautics and Space Administration for being honored for their "notable and valuable contributions to the arts, sciences or technology of aeronautics and astronautics." 🚀 🤘 https://lnkd.in/gmUA23AF

Happy December! As we are heading into finals week, our members are working hard at balancing exams, projects, and making progress on Halcyon MK-1. Nevertheless, we continue pushing for our January launch. We are very excited to share with you our December newsletter! Check it out to see what we have been up to recently and learn about some of our upcoming projects! #texasbornspacebound #universityoftexasataustin

Love to see Aerospace Engineering and Engineering Mechanics, The University of Texas at Austin take the No. 2 spot! 🚀 🤘
