Dr. Eric W. Frew is a professor in the Ann and H.J. Smead Aerospace Engineering Sciences Department. He received his B.S. in mechanical engineering from Cornell ³Ô¹ÏÍø in 1995 and his M.S and Ph.D. in aeronautics and astronautics from Stanford ³Ô¹ÏÍø in 1996 and 2003, respectively. Dr. Frew has been designing and deploying uncrewed aircraft systems for over twenty-five years. His research efforts focus on autonomous flight of heterogeneous uncrewed aircraft systems (UAS), guidance and control of uncrewed aircraft in complex atmospheric phenomena, optimal distributed information-gathering by autonomous robot teams, miniature self-deploying systems, and field robotics. Dr. Frew was co-leader of the team that performed the first-ever sampling of a severe supercell thunderstorm by an uncrewed aircraft. He is currently the Center Director for the National Science Foundation .
