Green to Develop Sensory Systems for Rapid Detection of Water Contaminants
Dr. Ryan Green and his team will be developing an amphibious unmanned ground vehicular sensory system for rapid detection of water contaminants. A particular focus will be on polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS), which are human-made chemicals and are commonly used in consumer goods, such as clothing, paper, plastic, carpet, etc. Moreover, PFAS are also commonly…
Liu Unlocking the Mysteries of Wireless Networks
In a three-year study funded by the National Science Foundation (NSF), Dr. Chun-Hung Liu will work with his collaborator from the University of Michigan to fundamentally change the design and analysis of wireless networks. Traditionally wireless networks are understood using processes that do not withhold spatial repulsion – most famous of them being Poisson point…
Park to Investigate the Impact of Lightning on RADAR Absorbing Composites
As a leading expert on the study of lightning damage on dialectic materials, Dr. Park was asked by Gyeongsang National University (GNU) in South Korea to study various types of lighting-tolerant Glass Fiber Reinforced Plastic (GFRP) composite laminate panels with RADAR absorbing properties. These tests will be conducted at the Paul B. Jacob High Voltage…
