Exciting News from 2024 Discovery Day

April 10, 2024 – We are thrilled to share some fantastic outcomes from our recent Discovery Day, particularly for BID4R Lab team.

Three of our team members, Jack Capuano, Austen Pallen, and Julia Gorthey, were named Research Scholars for the Graduating Class. This is a remarkable achievement, as it means half of the research scholars selected university-wide are from our lab!

Congratulations to Grace Gratton, Mikayla Dutkiewicz, and Noa Teed, who were awarded SURF grants to support their research projects this summer. Your hard work continues to inspire us, and we can’t wait to see what you will accomplish in the coming months.

A huge THANK YOU to each member of our team. Your dedication and passion for research are what make our lab a leading force. The lab is so grateful for the past two years together and eagerly anticipate future innovations.

Let’s continue to make waves in our fields and support each other’s growth. Here’s to more success and teamwork in the days to come!

Poster Presentations at the Student Research Symposium

This week, our dedicated BID4R Lab researchers showcased their work at the Student Research Symposium on November 15th, organized by the Office of Undergraduate Research and led by Ronnie Mack, Ed.D. The symposium offered a unique opportunity for participants to not only exhibit their research to peers but also to an esteemed panel of judges from various academic disciplines. The judging panel included representatives from Embry-Riddle Daytona Beach College of Engineering, Embry-Riddle Daytona Beach

College of Aviation, Embry-Riddle Daytona Beach College of Arts & Sciences, and professionals from industry. Additionally, visitors from Daytona State College added to the diverse audience.

Our lab proudly presented a total of 8 posters which accounted for almost 10% of all presentations! We congratulate to our researchers for their outstanding participation and the valuable insights they shared during this symposium. We are excited to see what their awesome research will bring and their upcoming conference presentations!

BID4R Lab at the College of Engineering (COE) Industry Advisory Board (IAB) Poster Fair

Exciting Insights from the Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University, Electrical Engineering & Computer Science Department, College of Engineering Industry Advisory Board Poster Fair!

It was that time of the year again when innovation and academia converged at Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University. The annual visit by our esteemed Industry Advisory Board brought forth a captivating poster session hosted by the College of Engineering, and it was nothing short of spectacular!

Representing the College of Engineering, our Electrical, Computer, and Software Systems (EECS) department proudly showcased four remarkable posters and the Biologically Inspired Design-for-Resilience (BID4R) Lab was one of them. These engaging presentations provided a window into the bright minds and groundbreaking research happening right here at Embry-Riddle.

Our lab member James Hand, a second-year Ph.D. student, shared his thoughts on the experience: “It was truly exciting that Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University provides us with the platform to engage with industry leaders. We discussed not only the current status of our research but also the exciting pathways our research is paving for the future”.

“An Overview of the Biologically Inspired Design for Resilience Lab Research Pillars” was presented by James HandRogelio Gracia OtálvaroAusten Pallen, and Jessica Christa Wira Hadipoernomo. With unwavering support from our distinguished faculty member, Bryan Watson, P. E., this poster embodies innovation and resilience in the heart of academia.

The poster fair was a testament to the vibrant exchange between our students and industry leaders, and it underlines the incredible potential that thrives within our academic community.
