Project Description Quantum information science and technology (QIST) has been undergoing rapid development in recent years. The recent demonstration of various elements such as quantum computers and quantum communication links indicate the beginning of a new era where QIST starts to transit from pure laboratory research into real-life applications. However,...

Project Description Machine-learning (ML)-based materials informatics approaches (MI) are increasingly used to accelerate design and discovery of new materials with targeted properties, and extend the applicability of first-principles techniques to larger systems. However, in order to empower materials with AI capabilities, it is crucial to develop a predictive framework that...

Project Description Somebody once said, "What a fool can do for a dollar, an engineer can do for a nickel". Thinking about costs as an engineering constraint brings new life to old ideas. This is what makes the difference between an idea influencing a hundred people or a billion! With...

Project Description The student will use AWR, python, and GitHub to simulate superconducting microwave resonator transmission behavior and optimize python analysis code to improve accuracy and reproducibility of quality factor extraction with a variety of levels of applied noise. The student will learn how these measurements impact our understanding of...

Project Description Transmitters used for radio frequency (RF) communications systems (cell phones, wifi, etc) need to be made linear so they don't introduce distortion into the data signal. Normally, this is done with digital signal processing techniques to "pre-distort" a signal as a way to correct for the nonlinearity of...

Project Description Ultrasound imaging is an important tool for medical diagnostics, but we must work to develop imaging sequences that can image faster and with greater clarity to address a wider range of patients and clinical tasks. We have developed a method that involves transmitting from each element on an...

Project Description The Vance Lab at the Â鶹ӰԺ specializes in indoor and outdoor air quality investigations, with a special focus on aerosols or particulate matter (PM). PM can range from a few nanometers to micrometers in size and can be generated from a variety of sources, from...

Project Description The conventional technology for recovery of valuable hydrophobic particles from aqueous suspension is froth flotation, where air bubbles rising through the suspension capture the particles and are collected in a froth layer at the top. However, froth flotation is not effective for particles smaller than about 10 microns...

Project Description Working on a project funded through the NSF designing and prototyping a robotic arm that is able to attach to a research drone used to collect samples from ice floes in the Arctic that are too soft for researchers to walk on. This person will work with a...

Project Description We are looking for a student to aid in understanding the career pathways of global engineering students and building a research base on the education of these students. This study hopes to unearth some of the structures in global engineering and development that are both preventing and aiding...
