Research

Harsh Patel's research explores how the introduction of microorganisms to the space environment affects behavior, gene expression, and stress-response pathways. He examines how classic bacterial growth models can be mathematically adapted to space-flight conditions.

Harsh Patel’s research explores how Lab-on-a-Chip microfluidic systems can monitor and protect astronaut health in space, advancing EcoAero’s mission to promote sustainable aerospace innovation and life-support technologies beyond Earth.

EcoAero presents Soteria, a sustainable VTOL drone inspired by NASA ACERO’s wildfire research designed to improve disaster response through green aviation.
