About Us

The Center for Hybrid Rocket Exascale Simulation Technology, or CHREST, aims to advance space exploration through interdisciplinary research that will improve the operation of hybrid rocket motors and enable the next generation of low-cost space flight.

Education

In partnership with UB’s Institute for Artificial Intelligence and Computational and Data Science, our program trains students to analyze big and complex systems and data using high end computing and mathematically sound methodology, to design propulsion systems for space exploration.

Research

Our focus is to leverage advances in both exascale computing and machine learning to better understand the turbulent mixing and fuel entrainment in the combustion environment that is critical to the operation of hybrid rocket motors.
