Bio-inspiration for Aerospace Engineering
Professor Fujio Tsumori (Faculty of Engineering)
You may be wondering why ‘life’ is in the title of this talk about aerospace. Is knowledge from living organisms useful in machine engineering? Let’s all think about it while talking about biomimicry.
The ionosphere: where surface weather meets space weather
Associate Professor Huixin Liu (Faculty of Sciences)
Ionosphere is the upper part of Earth’s atmosphere, whose existence is critical for wireless communication and global navigation. I’ll briefly introduce its discovery and basic structures, then give some examples of its variabilities that we call space weather and their societal impacts. I will also touch on space weather forecast at the end.
Extraterrestrial Human Life: Imagination and Reality
Assistant Professor Britton Brooks (Faculty of Languages and Cultures)
This talk will explore how literature has imagined human life in space, and how such stories both create and are created by the scientific and physical reality of living away from the earth.
Space Debris: Closer and Safer Space
Three students from Professor Toshiya Hanada lab (Faculty of Engineering)
Shun Isobe, Kenta Nakajima, Ai Hayashibara, Kajikawa Takumi
Because it supports our daily lives, we have become very familiar with our current space age. But that future is threatened by space debris! Let’s discuss how the Hanada Lab is confronting the space debris problem!
