A team of RPI graduates (Joe Adam '17, '18, '21, Tyler Mucci '21, '23, Cesar Gonzalez '20 and Nate Karwic '20) is preparing once again to remotely conduct experiments aboard the International Space Station (ISS). The ring-sheared drop module on the ISS is being utilized to advance our understanding of the flow of complex fluids and develop predictive modeling capabilities. These capabilities are paramount for applications ranging from manufacturing of biologics in the pharmaceutical industry to research probing the underlying mechanisms behind Alzheimer's and Parkinsons diseases.
