Project Description
Our research group is working on the modeling of space propulsion systems with focus on nuclear electric and thermal propulsion technologies. This project will focus on developing digital twin modeling framework using the NVIDIA Omniverse (https://www.nvidia.com/en-us/omniverse/) development library. UROP students will work with graduate student conducting research on how to integrate high fidelity modeling results into digital twin systems models that flow into a rendered representation of the spacecraft and its subsystems.Research Tasks: 1) Literature review on how NVIDIA Omniverse is used for modeling.
2) Conduct research on how to build a digital twin framework for space propulsion.
3) Work with graduate students to develop digital threads for integrating high fidelity modeling capabilities into the digital twin environment.
Skills that research assistant(s) may need: The UROP student should be knowledgeable in Linux operating systems and Python programing language. Preferred knowledge in the Blender software rendering suite or other equivalent programs. Motivated to self learn the NVIDIA Omniverse libraries, APIs, and services for OpenUSD data interoperability.
