With the help of an NSF grant, Katz School mathematics Ph.D. candidate Samuel Akingbade is researching the mathematical possibility of continuously capturing energy derived from small amounts of vibration in human and natural activity.
Energy harvesting devices, which consist of systems of oscillating beams in, […]

Three Katz School mathematics and physics researchers have developed a theoretical framework for predicting the possible shapes and gravitational fields of asteroids.
The results, published in the international journal Astrophysics and Space Science in March, can be useful for spacecraft engineers developing landing designs for irregularly shaped celestial objects. The research was funded by a […]

Researchers at the Katz School of Science and Health have developed a mathematical model for analyzing the motion and gravity of a family of Trojan asteroids orbiting Jupiter.
Their paper, “Hill Four-Body Problem with Oblate Bodies: An Application to the Sun-Jupiter-Hektor-Skamandrios System,” was published in the Journal of Nonlinear Science in July.
“This is a […]
