The AIAA Mid-Atlantic Section is organizing the AIAA Young Professionals, Students, and Educators (YPSE) Conference, to be held 18–19 November. The conference will be held at the Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Laboratory Kossiakoff Center.
We are looking for 15-minute presentations in areas of interest to the aerospace community by young professionals (age 35 and under), graduate, undergraduate, high school students, and educators. Topics can be technical in nature or focus on diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI).
Technical track: Presentations will be scored on various criteria including ability to convey impact of work, demonstrate knowledge of the field, methodologies, communication and more. Awards will be given to exceptional presentations in the various categories listed above.
DEI track: Presenters are encouraged to share their story and speak on topics including but not limited to improving DEI in Aerospace, dealing with imposter syndrome/burnout, authenticity, empowerment and outreach, intersectionality and more.
This is an excellent opportunity to share your work with the aerospace community and learn more about the innovative work of fellow aerospace enthusiasts!
Registration for presenters and attendees is now OPEN at aiaaypse.com. Presenter abstract submissions are due by Friday, 28 October. Abstracts should be a 250-500 word overview of the topic you will be presenting on. Abstracts may be released to conference attendees. Complete papers are not required. Abstract submissions should be emailed to the address specified during registration checkout. Notifications of abstract acceptance will be sent no later than Friday, 4 November.
The Dayton/Cincinnati Section offers a presentation that showcases a study investigating the flow structure in the vicinity of discontinuities at the surface of a high-speed air vehicle, with the effect of gaps and steps on aerodynamic heating of particular interest. Laura Holifield works as a researcher at the Air Force Institute of Technology, employed via the Oak Ridge Institute for Science and Education. She works within AFRL in the High Speed Systems Division, Fundamental Research Branch (AFRL/RQHF), with a research focus on hypersonic aerodynamics
The Orange County Section will host a presentation by Todd Barber, senior propulsion engineer at NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory. His presentation will cover Curiosity’s mission to the red planet in detail. Topics to be discussed include a bit on the history of Mars rovers at JPL, the scientific motivation for Curiosity, and the preparations for launch two days after Thanksgiving 2011. Todd Barber has spent two decades as lead propulsion engineer on the Cassini mission to Saturn, following part-time work on the Mars Exploration Rover (MER) mission, Deep Impact mission, and the Mars Science Laboratory (MSL) mission, which landed the large rover Curiosity on the red planet on August 5, 2012.
Presented by the San Gabriel Valley Section.
The San Gabriel Valley Section presents a webinar featuring guest speaker David Oberhettinger, the founder of Deep Space Engineering Technology, a firm that consults in the engineering of spaceflight systems destined for operation in deep space. He will discuss the design challenge of highly unique, high risk, missions of space exploration–where mission success requires what could be termed “Extreme” Engineering.
