Research Opportunities

Opportunities are occasionally available for outstanding students interested in pursuing a Masters or Doctoral degree in Aerospace Engineering at Penn State under my supervision. The areas of research that could be undertaken under Professor Morris' supervision are listed below. Informal enquiries may be sent by e-mail to the address listed above. Formal applications for graduate study should be made to the Department of Aerospace Engineering. The number of research opportunities depends on the availability of funding. Teaching assistantships may be available from the Department of Aerospace Engineering .
