Congratulations to Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering doctoral student Austin Vera on winning the prestigious NDSEG fellowship! Austin began his career in IMG as an undergraduate in 2016 under Dr. Mark Sheplak and is currently working towards his PhD. His research interests include the development of aeroacoustic instrumentation with a focus on dynamic pressure sensing technology for harsh environments. Great job Austin!
Daniel Blood, a former Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering PhD from IMG, has been making an impact as an assistant professor at Valparaiso University. Through 3D printing, Dr. Blood has been producing over 100 face shields a day for those on the front lines of the COVID-19 fight! We appreciate all that you do! Go gators and go IMG!
NASA has posted an article discussing the benefits of direct wall shear stress sensing: a major research objective of Dr. Mark Sheplak’s group here at IMG. The article discusses IMG and the commercialization of devices through IMG start-up company IC2. Take a look!

Congratulations to all of this year's IMG Award recipients, and a special thanks to all those who have contributed to our group. This year's kick-off meeting focused on the future of our group, and making it evident that "our most valuable asset is you". Let us continue working as a team and setting a precedent for research groups all around.
The IMG Awards recognize outstanding achievements and contributions of student members in our organization. The research award honors the exceptional academic impact the students have made in their field, and the service award acknowledges the hard work the students have put into improving and maintaining the quality of IMG.
The IMG faculty are pleased to release the IMG annual report for the calendar year 2017. This document is a record of the group activities, achievements and finances for the previous year. You are encouraged to refer to this document if needed.
