This graduate level course examines advanced design methodologies applied to complex aerospace systems to analyze, understand, and optimize their behavior. Includes instruction in the design of experiments, surrogate modeling, machine learning, sensitivity analysis, and multicriteria decision-making techniques. Applications include sustainable aircraft systems design, such as electrified aircraft propulsion sizing and synthesis. Offers projects that allow students to address open-ended, real-world problems across a broad spectrum of sustainable aerospace system applications.

Dr. Çınar contributed insights to the CNN article on how sustainable aviation fuels, hydrogen, and electrification are reshaping the aviation industry.

We are proud to announce that Hüseyin Acar, a PhD student at IDEAS Lab, has successfully passed his preliminary oral coursework examination. Hüseyin’s accomplishment marks a significant step forward in his doctoral journey.

Dr. Çınar is an expert panelist for the National Academies Webinar ‘Sustainable Electrification of Transportation Systems’.

For the first time ever, the AIAA/IEEE Electric Aircraft Technologies Symposium (EATS) Conference will be hosted in conjunction with the AIAA Aviation Forum.

Prof. Cinar took the IDEAS Lab’s PhD students to lunch after Max and Paul passed their Preliminary Exam.

Lab member Paul taught fellow PhD Students Huseyin and Max to curl at the Detroit Curling Club.
