@aiaa Should have said @rishabhlok presented the first paper, I presented the second one!

[Robert White @rdw3454]

Presented two papers at the AIAA Aviation 2024 Forum @aiaa #AIAAaviation:

“Ultrasonic Measurement of Helium Abundance in Hydrogen”  https://t.co/ksOmfqDzxZ

“Flow Testing of a Digital Sonic Anemometer for Martian and Stratospheric Environments” https://t.co/A2y96oGQ1e

@KielyQuinn from @TuftsEngineer did a piece on our cryogenic MEMS sensor array work. Happy to be working with Luisa Chiesa and Peter Moore from @TuftsMechEng , Makoto Takayasu from @MIT, & Tanner Research and pleased to have research support from @ENERGY. https://t.co/qfCrLMSjvn

Excited to report our group @TuftsEngineer has been funded to work on two new @NASA projects - a 3 year project to develop and fly #acoustic #anemometers on #stratospheric #balloons, and a project to explore H2:He measurements with #acoustics for #saturn.

Attended @acousticsorg Nashville meeting with @TuftsASEgrad @TuftsMechEng students @rishabhlok and Tim Cheng. Tim gave an excellent talk on our stratospheric sonic anemometer! #engineering #acoustics #stratosphere Appreciate support from Chris Yoder and Don Banfield @NASA

The @TuftsEngineer Sonic Anemometer spent over 3 hours at 124,000 feet over New Mexico thanks to @NASA_Wallops ! Anxiously awaiting return of the data. Highest flight of a Sonic Anemometer?? Good job @TuftsASEgrad and @TuftsMechEng students! Thanks Chris and Don @NASA !

[Robert White @rdw3454]

Tufts Sonic Anemometer launched on a stratospheric (high altitude) balloon this morning out of Fort Sumner, NM. Heading to over 100,000 feet! Thanks to @NASA_Wallops, and great work from @TuftsEngineer students T Cheng, F Steve, T Curran, and J Huckaby! #students #research

[Robert White @rdw3454]

Happy to be working with Aidan Beckett, Tim Cheng, Tara Curran, Odin Doolittle, Lillian Fullford, Olive Rappoli, Freidlay Steve, and David Zhang in the Sensors and Systems Lab @TuftsEngineer @TuftsMechEng this summer! #students #Tufts #research https://t.co/jcMk2Eeldf

On March 18 @TuftsEngineer s launched a high altitude helium balloon from Troy NY and recovered it in Weston MA, a flight of 225 kilometers. We reached an altitude of ~80,000 feet. This is a test platform for the Tufts low pressure sonic anemometer. More flights to come!!

[Robert White @rdw3454]

Just returning from #ASA181 , 181st Meeting of the @acousticsorg, with four @TuftsEngineer students who did great work presenting papers on cryogenic operation of MEMS microphones, a MEMS based miniature high altitude sonic anemometer, and a prototype vibro tactile display.

[Robert White @rdw3454]

Happy to have attended #ASA181 with students from @TuftsMechEng and @TuftsASEgrad ! Thanks @acousticsorg for bringing the community together !

[Robert White @rdw3454]

@TuftsEngineer @TuftsUniversity @Cornell @NASA_Wallops Great to be working with @CornellCAS and @CornellAstro

[Robert White @rdw3454]

Tufts/Cornell high altitude sonic anemometer flew to 106,000 feet on a @NASA_Wallops balloon. Measuring 3D winds at high accuracy, high update rate, high altitude. Great working with Spencer Schmid from @TuftsEngineer , PI Don Banfield @Cornell, Chris Yoder @NASA_Wallops .

Sonic anemometry would be a high performance, low power way to measure winds on #MARS ! Presented at #SciTech2020. @TuftsASEgrad @TuftsEngineer https://t.co/yYaPqJyIiG
