The James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) was launched in 2021 and has since stunned to world with amazing new images of deep space.

In 2022, PIC-C received a NASA SBIR Phase I award to investigate the use of CAD geometries in particle-based gas kinetics simulations.

In the late 2021, I, along with Drs.
