4 AFRL scientists, engineers selected as 2024 AIAA Fellows

Dr. Kerianne Hobbs, ACT3 safe autonomy and space lead, Sensors Directorate, Air Force Research Laboratory, was recognized as a 2024 Associate Fellow of the American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics, or AIAA, in a news release Oct. 3, 2023. Hobbs is a nationally recognized expert in autonomy technologies for an area called run time assurance, and currently leads the Safe Autonomy Team at AFRL. This includes a Safe Trusted Autonomy for Responsible Spacecraft project team of 50 researchers coordinated across 10 geographically separated sites investigating development of safe reinforcement learning controllers, run time assurance algorithms and human-autonomy teaming for air and space applications. "When AFRL has multiple people selected as fellows or associate fellows at AIAA or another professional society in any given year, it reflects on AFRL's relevance and leadership in aerospace research,” said Hobbs, ACT3 safe autonomy and space lead, Sensors Directorate. “Associate fellowship means that the contributions of scientists and engineers go beyond their impact to AFRL by pushing the larger aerospace community into the future."

160909-F-ZS991-006

Dr. Benji Maruyama, principal materials research engineer based in the Air Force Research Laboratory, or AFRL’s, Materials and Manufacturing Directorate, displays a model of a carbon nanotube structure in his research lab in 2016. Carbon nanotubes are of great interest to materials scientists due to their strong, lightweight structure, ability to conduct heat and electricity better than many other materials, and promising implications for reducing the effects of climate change. In the spring of 2023, Maruyama was named a Materials Research Society, or MRS, fellow largely due to his extensive efforts to promote and develop carbon nanotube research. The MRS, currently 13,000 strong, has named less than 2% of its current members as fellows. “Carbon nanotubes are these wonderful materials that are super stiff, super strong, lightweight, electrically and thermally conductive,” Maruyama explained. “They have all these great properties that we can harness to make all kinds of things that we need, more sustainably — but, we don’t have the science yet to make them at scale, meaning at millions of tons per year. If we can do it at scale, we might just be able to reduce global CO2 emissions by, say, 20% to 40%, which allows us to meet 2050 goals.” (U.S. Air Force photo / Marisa Novobilski)

1st Space Force Guardian receives Arctic Service Medal

U.S. Coast Guard Cutter Healy (WAGB-20) travels through the Arctic July 31, 2023. U.S. Space Force Capt. Henry Cho captured the image while serving aboard. Cho is the first USSF Guardian to receive the Coast Guard Arctic Service Medal. The medal is awarded to any member who has served aboard a Coast Guard vessel operating in polar waters north of latitude 60 degrees North, specifically in the Bering Sea, Davis Strait or Denmark Strait. The minimum time requirement is 21 non-consecutive days under competent orders. (U.S. Space Force photo / Capt. Henry Cho)
