Project Description Fluid and solid mechanics are modeled and simulated using partial differential equations, which accounts for a large fraction of compute time in research and industry engineering. Evolving hardware has shifted the relative costs and so-called higher order methods are becoming increasingly attractive from a computational standpoint, but are...

Project Description Physical models based on partial differential equations (PDE) offer strong generalization and interpretability, including ability to infer unobserved properties. Calibrating such models with observed data often requires propagation of derivatives through PDE solvers, constitutive relations (which describe complex materials), and data layers such as image processing. These components...

Project Description At the Emergent Nanomaterials Laboratory (ENL), we work at the forefront of materials research and come up with exciting applications for novel polymeric and soft materials. We are currently working on a biodegradable material, called cyclodextrin, which is formed when glucose molecules come together to form a ring...

Project Description Rust is a new systems programming language that is rapidly growing in popularity, but library support for parallel and GPU-enabled scientific computing remains limited. As compared to the status quo languages of C, C++, and Fortran, use of Rust creates the opportunity to make scientific software more accessible,...

Project Description Stable sources of time have made navigation systems like GPS possible. Navigation, global transportation, the power grid, etc, all depend on precise sources of time to keep the modern world synchronized. In fact, GPS itself is often used to provide this synchronization. In recent years, research into alternative...

Project Description In connection with NTIA/ITS (National Telecommunications and Information Administration/Institute for Telecommunication Sciences) we are collecting LTE and 5G NR cell phone radio signals in the Boulder area and CBRS (Citizens Broadband Radio Service) signals in the Denver area. The purpose is to study spectrum usage and to devise...

Project Description Most people have tried to solve Rubik’s cube. In this project we will examine what happens if the colored faces of the cube get replaced with colored quantum particles. If the colored quantum particles are Bosons (particles that stay the same when you swap their positions) then solving...

Project Description Students joining this project will learn about modern wind turbines and the controllers needed to yield high performance. Advanced control algorithms play a key role in maximizing the power production of modern wind turbines. Thereby, several hard constraints like a maximum rotor speed or blade loads must not...

Project Description Traditional composite materials are designed to avoid couple deformation (e.g., bending or twist as a result of an applied extension). However, this coupling is useful in the case of elastic composites that could be used in stretchable electronics, soft robotics, and other systems that require large deformation actuation...

Project Description In this research effort we aim to assess the engineering students’ cultural wealth at three selected institutions (¾«Æ·SMÔÚÏßӰƬ, James Madison University and Angelo State University) and to understand how engineering students’ personal values relate to beliefs about engineering. Findings from this research will tremendously assist...
