Dr. Cary Mitchell will be in Arlington, Virginia November 13-16 to serve on a Human Systems grant proposal peer-review panel for the NASA Innovative Advanced Concepts (NIAC) program. NIAC strives to identify and develop novel system-of-systems architectures that can enable entirely new space missions or greatly enhance existing ones, with potential ground-based spinoff or Earth…Read more about Dr. Cary Mitchell to Serve on NASA Grant Proposal Peer-Review Panel[Read More]
Former HLA grad students Asmaa Morsi, Mokhles Elsysy, and Dr. Cary Mitchell, along with NASA and aerospace industry colleagues, are publishing an article in the Journal of Life Sciences in Space Research related to cut-and-come-again harvest of mizuna mustard growing in the Veggie plant-growth units onboard the International Space Station, to supplement astronaut diets and…Read more about New Article from Asmaa Morsi, Mokhles Elsysy, and Dr. Cary Mitchell[Read More]
Fatemeh Sheibani, Cary Mitchell, and industry collaborators published an article entitled “Close-canopy lighting, an effective energy-saving strategy for overhead sole-source LED lighting in indoor farming” in the journal Frontiers in Plant Science.
Purdue Today featured Cary Mitchell and Fatemeh Sheibani’s novel research on LED lighting in vertical farming was on February 21. Their research designed two simple strategies that would increase yield while reducing costs in vertical farming, the fastest growing sector in controlled environment agriculture. Other media outlets picked up the story, including Indiana Public Media.
