Professor Bai received two awards — we are grateful to these recognitions, inspirations, and generous support!
Professor Bai has received the Texas A&M Outstanding Young Aerospace Engineer award. This award recognizes Alumni under the age of 40 who have exhibited outstanding work in the field of Aerospace Engineering.
Professor Bai has also just received the 2018 A. Walter Tyson Assistant Professor Award from the School of Engineering at Rutgers. The Tyson fund, established by A.
Mr. Misra, Dr. Peng, and Dr. Bai attended the SciTech 2018. We have following 3 papers presented at the conference.
Xiaoli Bai and Lesley Weitz, “Using Model Predictive Control for Trajectory Optimization and to Meet Spacing Objectives”, 2018 AIAA Guidance, Navigation, and Control Conference, AIAA Science and Technology Forum and Exposition 2018.
Hao Peng and Xiaoli Bai§, “Using Artificial Neural Network to Improve Orbit Prediction Accuracy”, 2018 AIAA/AAS Spaceflight Mechanics Meeting, AIAA Science and Technology Forum and Exposition 2018.
Today, we had our group lunch meeting to celebrate a productive year.
We have 12 journal articles published this year.
In addition, we have 6 journals currently under review or under revision.
Dr. Hao Peng presented a paper coauthored with Dr. Xiaoli Bai, “New Natural Formation Flying Configurations in the Earth-Moon Elliptic Three-body system”, at the 9th International Workshop on Satellite Constellations and Formation Flying, University of Colorado, July 2017.
The senior design project Dr. Bai advised this year received the Best Overall Project Award among 44 projects in the department.
The goal of the project is to develop a UAV system that is capable of detecting and utilizing thermals in the air to increase the aircraft’s efficiency, particularly to extend its flight duration.
Dr. Bai organized the Rutgers undergraduate student UAV award symposium on April 7, 2017.
14 teams won prize money and the 4 teams that won the first and second prizes delivered presentations.
