Integrating Fluid Dynamics With Virology: An Intra-airway Model for Inhaled Transmission of Pathogens
Dept. of Mechanical Engineering Graduate Seminar
PRESENTATION: While substantial research has focused on the spatial transmission of human respiratory ejecta, progress has been relatively limited in understanding how the physics of inhalation flow within an exposed subject's airway affects the local transport of pathogen-laden particulates, ultimately influencing infection onset. In the first part of this talk, Dr. Basu will present a pathogen-agnostic fluid dynamics model that explores...
Developing Intelligent Automation and Robotics for Smart Manufacturing Systems
Dept. of Mechanical Engineering Graduate Seminar
PRESENTATION: The current manufacturing paradigm is shifting toward production systems that demand significantly greater flexibility and adaptability. To achieve this objective, new system-level control strategies must be developed to control and coordinate different components on the shop floor. I will present our recent approaches to enhance flexibility and adaptability of manufacturing systems across multiple layers of automation. I will begin...
