Finished a great day of football by taking my kids (by bike!) to their first game at Michigan Stadium!

MISA is seeking collaborative partners to establish a research & education center. This center will serve as a hub for solving technical challenges, advising on policy matters & nurturing the workforce to play a pivotal role in driving the transformation of the aviation industry.

Forbidden fruit.

Advocating for and researching sustainable aviation technologies is central to my work. Honored to be consulted & quoted in Vox 's deep dive into the future of eco-friendly air travel. Read more in the article: vox.com/climate/239229… Michigan Aerospace University of Michigan Michigan Engineering

Do you want to come work with us at TAMU Aerospace Engineering and Texas A&M Bioastronautics and Human Performance ?? We are looking for a tenure/tenure track faculty member to join our Bioastronautics and Human Engineering efforts! Looking forward to receiving many applications here:  apply.interfolio.com/118574!

This cycle, I am admitting up to 2 PhD students interested in engineering graduate education, mental health, and/or engineering culture. Additional details in attached flyer. Please help spread the word!

Took the morning off to see if a bad round of disc golf (😬) really is better than a good day at work.

BET.

On Monday, Jan. 15th, join BSA, WAA, GEMA, LUNA, & MESA at Soaring with Equity: An Aero MLK Event! Engage in thoughtful community discussion led by a diverse panel, interactive activity, & great food. More information can be found on the RSVP here: tinyurl.com/aeromlk

The MARS Dialogues (hosted by U-M Nuclear Engineering & Radiological Sciences + @michiganaero & led by Aaron W. Johnson Aditi Verma Mackenzie Warwick & Elizabeth Strehl) was honored w/an MLK Spirit Award. @umich + Michigan Engineering students are invited to join the 2/2 discussion. Register: myumi.ch/n7593

EER PhD student Betsy Strehl was awarded an NSF GRFP (Graduate Research Fellowship Program) for her work on engineering students from a low-socioeconomic status background. Congratulations on this well-deserved award, Betsy!!

You should read this article from my awesome friends and collaborators (friendorators?) Dr. Jessica Swenson and Emma Treadway, PhD!

Congratulations to all the Michigan Aero graduates! Ad astra! 🚀 🛫

it’s morning in America, @umich edition. we could have been the university that does not do that, Santa Ono

It has been an awesome year so far for seeing amazing things in the sky! The total solar eclipse from Ohio, the aurora from Ann Arbor, and (thanks to Kiko Dontchev) two rocket launches from KSC this week!

My journey to engineering education research started at the Tufts CEEO, and I am eternally grateful for the awesome people there who gave me the opportunity and knowledge to start out in this field! And reconnecting with everyone is always one of the highlights of #ASEE.
