Graduate students create on-campus assembly factory for fiber extrusion devices. See here for more details.
Continue ReadingWe design instruments and techniques to sense and control physical systems. Medical devices and manufacturing inspection systems are a particular focus. We develop and combine electromechanical systems, complex algorithms, and computation systems to create instruments and measurement solutions for problems that are otherwise intractable.
Our research and product development interests cross the boundaries of computer vision, acoustic and ultrasonic imaging, large‐scale computation and simulation, optimization, metrology, autonomous systems, and robotics. We use computation, and computer science, as a methodology for attacking complex instrumentation problems – our work combines mathematical modeling, simulation, optimization, and experimental observations, to develop instruments and measurement solutions.
Lab members Ivan Goryachev, Ryan Koeppen, and Shawn Zhang, are developing a thermal trailer and kiosks that could be deployed on campus during the Covid-19 pandemic. The thermal trailers screens asymptomatic individuals using thermal cameras for elevated temperatures prior to Covid-19 testing. More info here.
