Analysis of a Generic Three-Stream Double-Bypass Adaptive Cycle Engine
Student: Christopher Handgis Committee: Dr. Werner Dahm Abstract: The objective of this project is to explore the performance benefits that a three-stream adaptive cycle engine (ACE) has over a low-bypass turbofan typically found on military fighter aircraft. Key features of an ACE are the variable area bypass injectors (VABIs) and the addition of a

Design and Development of Lizard Inspired Tube Inspection (LTI) Robot
Student: Manoj Rudraboina Committee: Hamid Marvi Abstract: To perform routine condition monitoring to detect structural defects in pipelines of aging power plants and industries in the USA, a lizard inspired tube inspection (LTI) robot has been designed and developed. The LTI robot has been designed using friction based gripping technology in combination with 9 degrees
Fliterating and reducing computation based car following control of a connected and autonomous vehicle platoon using CARLA Simulator
Student: Rohan Sharma Committee: Dr. Spring Berman Abstract: An autonomous vehicle works using a plethora of sensors for understanding the world around it. The data from these sensors not only measure different physical quantities. Merging the data for those physical quantities is a challenge. In addition to this, the uncertainty of the measurement related
Identification of Cancer-Causing Free Radicals: Examination using Electron Paramagnetic Resonance Spectroscopy
Student: Dominic Anthony Vetrano Committee: Dr. Nathan Newman Abstract: While antioxidants in our body are our bodies defense against free radicals, the ingestion of even moderate quantities of foods containing free radicals has been linked to enhanced levels of cancer. The goal of this project is to determine if the electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) technique
Joint Neural Network Selection and Motion Planning with Temporal Specifications
Student: Anirudhudu Duddilla Committee: Dr. Zhe Xu Abstract: Existing Object Detection methods in autonomous driving are trained on the data sets that are biased towards good weather conditions which often fail in rare weather conditions. Specifically, we modeled the agent’s behavior as an uncertain Partially Observable Markov Decision Process (POMDP), a widely used model

Manufacture of 3D Printed Composite Structures via Multiphase Direct Ink Writing
Student: Mounika Kakarla Committee: Dr. Kenan Song Abstract: Although additive manufacturing is a rapid prototyping technology, the printing resolution for most commercial printers are limited to microscales, especially the lack of high-resolution structural control in the case of polymer/nanocomposites. This research study demonstrated the efficient technology for 3D printing nanocomposites using multiphase direct ink

Simulation of Ice Environments for Robotic Applications
Student: Dallas Wells Committee: Dr. Hamidreza Marvi Abstract: The use of simulations allows for reduction in cost and the ability to remotely gain experimental test data. Ice as a material is difficult to simulate due to strong non-linear properties that can vary with temperature and fracturing can cause singularities resulting in simulation failure. In
Temperature-dependent analysis of spectrally selective emitter for thermophotovoltaic system
Student: Cheng-An Chen Committee: Liping Wang Abstract: This work investigated the detailed theoretical analysis for thermophotovoltaic (TPV) with the spectrally selective emitter at high temperatures. The thick film and the thin film emitter have the Ge or Si layer between the top and bottom silver layer. The thin film emitters show a high peak
