Expecting Turbulence: Flow-informed Machine Learning for Prediction and Control
Dept. of Mechanical Engineering Graduate Seminar
PRESENTATION: Advances in data-driven and learning-based methodologies have enabled unprecedented autonomy in many engineered systems, but intelligent modeling and control of fluid flows have yet to be realized. Motivated by the enormous potential of intelligent interactions between engineered systems and fluid flows across many applications, my research seeks to bridge the gap between data-driven, computational, and experimental fluid mechanics...
Optimal Control of Bio-Inspired Propulsion Systems
Dept. of Mechanical Engineering Graduate Seminar
PRESENTATION: Natural swimmers and flyers exhibit exceptional propulsive performance by harnessing complex unsteady flows through mechanisms such as oscillating fish tails and flapping insect wings. To engineer high-performance bio-inspired robots, effective control of propulsors in these unsteady regimes is essential. However, this control problem is challenging due to two primary difficulties: 1) the high-dimensional parameter space governing...

Design Challenges: Water Filtration
Grab your friends and dive into two exciting hands-on challenges! No need to prepare or plan ahead—all materials will be provided—and, yes, there will be pizza both nights. Show up ready to build, create, eat pizza, and have fun. Are you up for the challenge?
Think you can turn simple materials into a working water filter? It’s time to find out!
This event is sponsored by the Lichtenberger Engineering Library, KEEN, NEXUS, the Hanson Center for Communication, and the Water Environment Federation.
Library Workshop: Reading Scientific Articles
Learning to efficiently read and understand scientific literature can be a time-consuming process. In this workshop, improve your understanding of scientific literature in both your field and others. Presented by Laurie Neuerburg, sciences head engagement librarian at the Sciences Library.
This workshop will be presented virtually and in-person.
Design Challenges: Shoe Design
Grab your friends and dive into two exciting hands-on challenges! No need to prepare or plan ahead — all materials will be provided — and, yes, there will be pizza both nights. Show up ready to build, create, eat pizza, and have fun. Are you up for the challenge?
