Dr. Stern retired from the Department of Aerospace Engineering and Engineering Mechanics in January 2000. He served on the faculty for 34 years. He also had two years of industrial experience. He specialized in computational solid mechanics and in the application of boundary element methods to study propagation and scattering of waves in ocean sediments. Dr. Stern published more than 50 technical articles and reports, authored or edited three books.
Researchers from The University of Texas at Austin invented a new non-invasive, wearable sensor designed to measure a user's hydration levels continuously, in real time.
Developing methods that turn three days of super‑computer crunching into mere seconds, a University of Texas at Austin led team has created reduced-order models that slash rocket‑engine simulation time by an astonishing 90,000x, opening the door to faster, smarter design of next‑generation propulsion systems.

Karen Willcox, aerospace engineering professor and director of the Oden Institute for Computational Engineering and Sciences, has been awarded the 2024 Grand Prize by the Japan Society for Computational Engineering and Science (JSCES).
A new study introduces a wireless forehead e-tattoo that decodes brainwaves to measure mental strain without bulky headgear. This technology may help track the mental workload of workers like air traffic controllers, surgeons, truck drivers and more.
Research
From land and water on Earth to the stars and beyond, our research is not only changing the world and the lives of people who live here – it is transforming the future of air travel and space exploration, creating opportunities for future discoveries outside our world. At UT Aerospace, the sky is not the limit.
