OSU researcher explores novel carbon material with energy potential

Dr. Kaan Kalkan, associate professor for the School of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering, is an expert in nanostructured materials. With support from a new research grant from Phillips 66, Kalkan is now characterizing a carbon allotrope synthesized from a petroleum-based precursor using a proprietary process.
Kara Lab develops new method to improve spacecraft landing safety

Tue, Dec 09, 2025

Dr. Kursat Kara, associate professor in the School of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering, and Ph.D. candidates Shafi Al Salman Romeo and Ashraf Kassem have developed a method to accurately predict the behavior of a space capsule during atmospheric entry. This advance supports safe landings on Earth and other worlds with atmospheres.

OSU researchers take flight with study to advance weather-sensing UAS technology

Fri, Nov 14, 2025

Over the past decade, researchers from the College of Engineering, Architecture and Technology, along with others, have explored the use of weather-sensing unmanned aerial systems (WxUAS) to supplement existing weather observation tools and improve forecasting in the atmospheric boundary layer — the region from the surface to roughly 5,000 feet. The goal is to increase the quality and frequency of atmospheric measurements, ultimately strengthening the prediction of high-impact weather and improving public safety.
