ESE Doctoral Dissertation Defense: “IMU-Based State Estimation and Control of Quadrotors Leveraging Aerodynamic Effects”
Abstract: Quadrotors and multirotors in general are common in many inspection and surveillance applications. For these applications, visual-inertial odometry is a common way to localize the vehicles and observe the environment. However, unlike with wheeled mobile robots, quadrotor localization algorithms often do not use knowledge of the control inputs and the full vehicle dynamics as […]

October 29, 2019 -MEAM Seminar: “The Simulation and Modeling of Turbulent Flows”
-
October 29, 2019 -ESE Seminar: “Solid-State Spin-Photon Interfaces: Old Friends & New”
MEAM Seminar: “The Simulation and Modeling of Turbulent Flows”
Our group at the University of Minnesota focuses on fundamental advances in numerical algorithms, and understanding of flow physics that allow the prediction of engineering turbulent flows. This presentation will discuss key aspects of such simulation alongside illustrative examples. We will discuss a recently developed unstructured overset grid methodology and its application to particle-resolved DNS […]
ESE Seminar: “Solid-State Spin-Photon Interfaces: Old Friends & New”
Abstract : Optically active spins in solids offer exciting opportunities as scalable and feasible quantum-optical devices. Numerous material platforms including diamond, semiconductors, and atomically thin 2d materials are under investigation, where each platform brings some advantages of control and feasibility along with other challenges. The inherently mesoscopic nature of solid-state platforms leads to a multitude of […]

October 30, 2019 -CBE Seminar: “Chemical Reactor Scale-Up: Principles and Practice at Dow”
Sigma Aldrich Lecture: “Epitaxy by Design: Epitaxial Growth of Dissimilar Materials”
Abstract: The ability to integrate dissimilar materials with different crystal structures and properties enables heterostructures to be developed with new functionality well beyond the normal band gap engineering offered by semiconductor heterostructures. The combination of metals, semiconductors, insulators, magnetic, piezoelectric, structural and phase change materials offers the potential for nearly limitless control of device properties. […]
CBE Seminar: “Chemical Reactor Scale-Up: Principles and Practice at Dow”
Abstract: Since Dow first formed a global reaction engineering discipline over twenty years ago, we have accumulated much experience leading and supporting a diversity of reaction engineering projects for our corporation. This presentation will provide specific examples of real-world reaction engineering problems at Dow in the past 27 years and summarize our perspective regarding the […]

October 31, 2019 -MEAM Special Seminar: “Smartphone-based Mobile Detection Platform for Molecular Diagnostics: from Infectious Diseases to Cancer”
MSE Seminar: “Managing Intercultural Interactions in a Challenging Global Higher Education Landscape”
The rapidly diversifying face of colleges and universities in the United States including the University of Pennsylvania require that we are able to manage intercultural relationships from different backgrounds. We are all working in a multicultural institution, with students, faculty and staff from all over the world. This makes for a very diverse, vibrant community […]
MEAM Special Seminar: “Smartphone-based Mobile Detection Platform for Molecular Diagnostics: from Infectious Diseases to Cancer”
Rapid, quantitative molecular diagnostics in the field, at home, and in resource poor settings is needed for evidence-based disease management, control, and prevention. Conventional molecular diagnostics requires extensive sample preparation, sophisticated instruments, and trained personnel, restricting their use to centralized laboratories. To overcome the limitations of laboratory-based procedures, we designed a simple, inexpensive, hand-held, smartphone-based […]

November 1, 2019 -PICS Seminar: “High-order Spectral Difference Method for Studying Marine Hydrodynamics and Thermal Convection and Magneto-hydrodynamics for the Sun”
PICS Seminar: “High-order Spectral Difference Method for Studying Marine Hydrodynamics and Thermal Convection and Magneto-hydrodynamics for the Sun”
Abstract Two recent advancements of high-order spectral difference (SD) method for computational fluid dynamics on unstructured meshes will be presented. The first progress is our contribution to a new curved sliding-mesh approach to the SD method for simulating flapping and rotary wing aerodynamics. The second elevation of the SD method is our recent successful design […]
