About
Brianna Ho’s research lies at the intersection of aerospace engineering and sustainable energy systems, with a focus on extending the endurance and operational range of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs). As part of a student engineering team at California State Polytechnic University, Pomona, she contributed to the development of an innovative airplane-quadcopter UAV hybrid that integrates in-flight power regeneration technologies and structural battery integration. Her most-cited work, “Airplane-Quadcopter UAV Hybrid Incorporating Power Regeneration Technologies & Weight Minimization” (2022), demonstrates a practical approach to overcoming the limited flight times of electric UAVs—a critical barrier in applications like surveillance, delivery, and environmental monitoring. By combining aerodynamic efficiency with energy harvesting, Ho’s research offers a blueprint for next-generation hybrid drones that are both lighter and more self-sufficient. Though early in her career, her work has already garnered attention (4 citations), signaling its relevance to the growing field of sustainable aviation. Ho’s achievements exemplify how hands-on undergraduate research can drive meaningful innovation in aerospace technology.
