Abhishektha and Rachel

Congratulations to PhD students Abhishektha Boppana (Advisor: Allie Anderson) and Rachel Rise (Advisor: Torin Clark) for earning first and second place, respectively, in the 2021 student poster competition.

The annual conference is a deep dive into space research on human health and physiology.

  • 1st Place - Abhishektha Boppana - Dynamic Body Shape Models to Reduce Risk of EVA Space Suit Injury - This work presented a methodology to improve operator-spacesuit compatibility by designing spacesuit components with dynamic parametric statistical body shape models.
  • 2nd Place - Rachel Rise - Identifying Stochastic Resonance in Perceptual Threshold Estimation Performance - Presented preliminary findings of in-channel and cross-channel Stochastic Resonance in perceptual threshold estimation tasks by applying auditory and vestibular noiseâ€

The theme of the 2021 conference was "advancing human space flight research through innovation and collaboration." The 2021 event was held Feb 1 - 4 virtually due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
