Jacques,Richard,"Instructional Associate Professor, Aerospace Engineer","Dr. Richard got his Ph. D. at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, 1989 & a B. S. at Boston University, 1984. He was at NASA Glenn, 1989-1995, worked at Argonne National Lab, 1996-1997, taught at Chicago State University, 1997-2002. Dr. Richard is a Instructional Associate Professor @ Texas A&M since 1/03. His research is focused on computational plasma modeling using particle, spectral Maxwell/Boltzmann, and lattice Boltzmann methods for studying plasma turbulence and plasma jets. His research has also included fluid physics and electric propulsion using Lattice-Boltzmann methods, spectral element methods, Weighted Essentially Non-Oscillatory (WENO), etc. He also studies engineering enculturation to better quantify and understand what in a classroom develops the engineering student into an engineer, building critical, computational and algorithmic thinking, with respect to cultural, ethnic, racial, gender, sexual, nationality, socioeconomic diversity.
Past research includes modeling single and multi-species plasma flows through ion thruster optics and the discharge cathode assembly; computer simulations of blood flow interacting with blood vessels; modeling ocean-air interaction; reacting flow systems; modeling jet engine turbomachinery going unstable at NASA for 6 years (received NASA Performance Cash awards). Dr. Richard is involved in many outreach activities: e.g., tutoring, mentoring, directing related grants (e.g., a grant for an NSF REU site, engineering education). Dr, Richard is active in professional societies (American Physical Society (APS), American Institute for Aeronautics and Astronautics (AIAA), etc.), ASEE, ASME. Dr. Richard has authored or co-authored about 35 technical articles (about 30 of which are refereed publications). Dr. Richard teaches courses ranging from first-year introductory engineering design, fluid mechanics, to space plasma propulsion.",NSF REU Program Director||Aerospace Engineer||Member||Faculty affiliate||Instructional Associate Professor,Engineering Education Research Taskforce||Aerospace Engineering||Aerospace Engineering||College of Engineering||Institute for Engineering Education and Innovation,https://scholars.library.tamu.edu/vivo/display/nb46813e7
Eric,Riggs,Professor,"The Riggs Group studies many related aspects of teaching, learning and cognition in the geosciences.
We work to understanding how people learn and develop expertise in complex geological settings through the lens of embodied cognition and culturally-mediated cognition, including international or cross-cultural learning situations. We seek to understand how to connect the whole person to science from an asset-based perspective.
Recent work includes studies of academic field choice in geology as a function of gender, and the role of gendered experience in field-based learning environments and the resulting influence on career paths.",Professor||Faculty Affiliate,Geology and Geophysics||Institute for Engineering Education and Innovation,https://scholars.library.tamu.edu/vivo/display/ncda74524
Karen,Rambo-Hernandez,Associate Professor,Dr. Karen E. Rambo-Hernandez is an associate professor at Texas A&M University in the College of Education and Human Development. Her research has been funded by NSF and the US Department of Education among others. She focuses on the assessment of educational interventions to improve STEM education and access for all students-- particularly high achieving and underrepresented students-- to high quality education.,Associate Professor||Associate Professor||Faculty Affiliate,"Educational Psychology||Teaching, Learning and Culture||Institute for Engineering Education and Innovation",https://scholars.library.tamu.edu/vivo/display/nd026b2a3
