Project Description The Neuromechanics lab combines ideas from neuroscience, economics and biomechanics to understand the costs and rewards underlying movement control. Using modeling, robotic interfaces, and virtual reality, we try to reverse engineer how the brain selects and controls movements. The investigations provide insight into the interplay between the neural...

Project Description At the Emergent Nanomaterials Laboratory (ENL) we work at the forefront of materials research on exciting new applications for polymeric soft materials. We are currently working with a class of biodegradable materials called cyclodextrins, which are made of glucose molecules linked together into a cup-shaped ring. Cyclodextrins are...

Project Description We don't believe quantum computers will work without error correction. In this project, we will look at a specific part of the error correction process the act of measuring. Our goal is to use a device called a "quantum amplifier" to make measurements better for error correction. This...

Project Description Legacy pipelines made of cast iron, wrought iron, and bare steel are responsible for a disproportionate number of gas leaks in the United State’s infrastructure system. Many systems have exceeded their intended design life with increasing vulnerability to failure. The Center for Infrastructure, Energy and Space Testing (CIEST)...

Project Description US natural gas pipeline infrastructure has been serving the nation for decades, providing critical services and resources for energy flow. Many systems have exceeded their intended design life with increasing vulnerability to failure. The Center for Infrastructure, Energy and Space Testing (CIEST) is leading an international project to...

Project Description Companies all around the world are building quantum computers using superconducting electrical circuits. The quantum bits are encoded in a network of linear and nonlinear inductors and capacitors. In this project, we will use the theory of electrical circuit equivalents to list all of the possible quantum bits...

Project Description The Center for Infrastructure, Energy and Space Testing (CIEST) houses a large 400 g-ton centrifuge (the 2nd largest in the US). This centrifuge has recently been upgraded with a shake table so that can input scaled earthquake motions into a scaled model of soil-structure systems. Additional upgrades include...

Project Description The AVS Lab is looking for a motivated undergraduate student who can assist with on-going work to apply reinforcement learning (RL) techniques to spacecraft operations problems. This work will deploy reinforcement learning agents trained in simulation on-board a real spacecraft for a flight demonstration. The student will help...

Project Description Are you an Engineering Plus student interested in improving the course experiences for all students? Would you love to dive into why students choose different emphasis and concentration combinations in undergraduate courses? Are you curious about the perspectives of students who transferred into e+ as older students versus...

Project Description Taken together and given the massive amounts of Wi-Fi data from multiple campus Access Points, stochastic modeling is an especially exciting and relevant given the research proposed in the IMR proposal. Specifically, the Wi-Fi data and its modeling using stochastic simulations and the data fusion, convergence and efficient...
