Dr. Michael Hickey, associate dean
of the College of Arts and Sciences at Embry-Riddle’s Daytona
Beach campus, was recently elected to a one-year term as associate
director of the Florida Space Grant Consortium (FSGC). The
Consortium supports the expansion and diversification of Florida's
space industry by providing grants, scholarships, and fellowships
to students and educators involved in Florida higher education.
FSGC is composed of 17 top public and private colleges and
universities in Florida, all of the state’s 28 community
colleges, the Astronaut Memorial Foundation, the Higher Education
Consortium for Math and Sciences, Kennedy Space Center, and the
Orlando Science Center.
“Mike is a highly regarded administrator and researcher
whose new role with the Florida Space Grant Consortium reflects
Embry-Riddle’s continuing leadership in securing the future
of Florida’s aerospace industry,” said Dr. William
Grams, dean of Embry-Riddle’s College of Arts and Sciences.
Dr. Hickey also serves on the board of directors of Space Florida,
a public-private partnership of leaders in government, education,
military, and business established by the Florida Legislature to
develop and promote the state’s aerospace resources.
A professor of physics, Dr. Hickey has published approximately
50 papers in peer-reviewed journals describing numerical
simulations of acoustic-gravity waves in the terrestrial and
planetary atmospheres, and has received almost $4 million in
funding for his research programs. He was previously a contractor
at NASA’s Marshall Space Flight Center for several years,
providing expertise on the upper atmosphere environment.
Dr. Hickey received the Embry-Riddle Outstanding Researcher of
the Year Award in 2005, and two years later he was elected a Fellow
of the Royal Meteorological Society. He is a member of the American
Geophysical Union and the American Meteorological Society.
