Project Description In this project, the student will participate in the use of machine learning models to predict solar magnetic eruptions (more colloquially known as "solar flares"). Solar flares and associated coronal mass ejections (CMEs) are the main drivers of Earth-impacting space weather events, including ionospheric disturbances, geomagnetic storms, and...

Project Description Volumetric Additive Manufacturing (VAM) is a new 3D printing technique in which a centimeter sized part with features smaller than a human hair prints in just a few minutes. VAM works by projecting images into a liquid volume of material from different angles. As more projections occur, light...

Project Description Wet granular flows involve small, solid particles that are coated with thin liquid layers. They are important in coating processes (such as for controlled-release pharmaceuticals, fertilizers and candy), agglomeration processes (e.g., air filtration) and natural phenomena (e.g., avalanches and mudslides). This project studies the fundamentals of wet granular...

Project Description The Building Legacy in Engineering research project will take an inter-institution approach to create an authentic and scalable inquiry-based, active learning environment focused on sustainable civic innovation. This project is designed to document and validate the approach to be replicated by other university partnerships to strengthen communities. The...

Project Description Lightning, an energetic phenomena in our atmosphere, has far reaching effects in space. When lightning strikes, it releases an electromagnetic (EM) pulse that injects energy into the Earth’s magnetosphere. Many spacecraft like the Van Allen Probes measure these EM waves, called lightning generated whistlers (LGWs) due to the...

Project Description Western honey bee behavior and communication has been a subject of study for hundreds of years, yet much remains unknown about how they coordinate with each other to succeed as a colony without a central leader. In the Peleg lab, we investigate how they accomplish tasks such as...

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 Software Defined Radios are an ever increasing popular topic. The advent of low cost USB radio dongles such as the USRP and BladeRF as well as tools such as GNU radio have allowed for radio development to move into the software domain. GPS is a satellite-based navigation system...

Project Description This project is to explore and exploit the satellite navigation / position engine / GPS within Android. Ideally making end result more more robust with higher integrity. The Android platform provides the majority of GPS/GNSS receivers across the world. Its integration within Android is interesting and many many...

Project Description The Â鶹ӰԺ Cryogenic Quantum Testbed (BCQT) is a research facility for developing and openly disseminating standard protocols to reproducibly measure the quality factor and performance characteristics of superconducting microwave resonators used in quantum computing circuits.The BCQT serves as a resource to academic and industry quantum research groups that...
