NASA selects 5 proposals to provide new insights from openly available data in the Physical Sciences Informatics Systems

NASA’s Physical Sciences Research Program has selected five ground-based proposals in response to the Physical Sciences Informatics System call for proposals. This program element is part of Science Mission Directorate (SMD) Research Opportunities in Space and Earth Sciences - 2021 (ROSES-2021) solicitation. These five research projects, involving recognized experts in the fields of combustion science, complex fluids, fluid physics, informatics, and materials science, will use data contained in the PSI system and build on prior reduced-gravity research to advance fundamental research in the physical sciences.

The following proposal has been chosen from a NASA EPSCoR jurisdiction:

• IOWA State University, Siddartha Pathak, “Structure, Properties and Performance of Solder Joints in Terrestrial vs. Reduced-Gravity Environments”
