Two weeks ago, Wood was awarded a grant from the Air Force’s Office of Scientific Research Young Investigator Research Program for work on the aero-elasticity of flapping wings of micro aero vehicles (MAVs). The Air Force program, which provides around $100,000 each year for a three-year period, hopes to foster creative basic research in science and engineering and enhance early career development, according to Spencer T. Wu, the program’s manager. “We hope...
