Project Ideas for Doctor of Philosophy in Aerospace Engineering

Fundamental and translational research propelling flight beyond frontiers.

🏛 Introduction

UIUC’s Aerospace PhD cultivates scholars who unravel hypersonic boundary layers, invent biomimetic UAVs, and model interstellar sailcraft dynamics. Doctoral candidates harness petascale CFD, plasma wind tunnels, and distributed satellite testbeds while publishing in *AIAA Journal* and mentoring undergrads in rocketry labs.
