SUMMARY:Chemical Engineering Fall Seminar Series: Professor Cameron Abrams
DESCRIPTION:Molecular Dynamics Investigations of Thermosetting Polymers \nThermosetting polymers comprise a wide variety of monomer constituents and polymerization chemistries that in principle provide the degrees of freedom necessary to tailor these materials to a broad range of applications\, from structural composites\, coatings and barrier materials\, ballistic shielding\, and even solid rocket fuels. In this talk\, I will trace my group’s history in using molecular dynamics simulations to investigate conceptual links among molecular architectures\, intermolecular interactions\, and network structures and how they determine thermomechanical properties of polymerized materials that these applications demand. Highlights in this history include the discovery of the links between crosslink arrangements and protovoid-based toughening; toughening using partially reacted substructures; long-timescale material response through time-temperature superposition; and rationalizing improvements over petrochemically derived monomers using novel bio-based subunits. A consistent theme will be demonstration of how close collaboration with experimental groups allows for simulation predictions to be tested. I will conclude with a presentation of our group’s software package\, HTPolyNet\, that represents the first opensource\, end-to-end generator of all-atom models of network-polymerized monomer mixtures based only on monomer structures\, which should accelerate the community’s use of MD simulation to investigate thermosetting polymers. \n\nCameron F. Abrams is the Bartlett ’81 – Barry ’81 Professor of Chemical and Biological Engineering at Drexel University\, where he has served on the faculty since 2002 and as Department Head since 2017. Abrams’ research expertise lies in advancing modern molecular simulation methods with applications in protein science\, drug discovery\, complex fluids\, and high-performance materials. He is the recipient of an ONR Young Investigator Award\, an NSF CAREER Award\, and the AIChE Computational and Molecular Sciences Forum Impact Award. He received a BS in Chemical Engineering from North Carolina State University in 1995 and a PhD from the University of California\, Berkeley\, in 2000. He trained as a postdoc for two years in the Theory Group at the Max-Planck-Institute for Polymer Research in Mainz\, Germany\, before joining Drexel.

SUMMARY:Enabling Engineering Fall Showcase
DESCRIPTION:Students will present their final design projects at the Enabling Engineering Fall Showcase. The projects that will be presented are listed below. \n\nAccessible Golfing\nCaution Radar\nAccessible Plant Watering System\nSwitch Activated Cornhole\nVR App\nSwitch Activated Toys\nAdaptive Drum Set\nProsthetic Finger\n\nEnabling Engineering is a Northeastern University student group that designs and builds devices to empower individuals with physical and cognitive disabilities. Our students collaborate with clients on projects that provide greater independence\, reduce medical burdens\, and increase social connectedness. We help family members\, clinicians\, and teachers care for people with disabilities. By giving students the opportunity to participate in Enabling Engineering projects\, we are training the next generation of engineers to be knowledgeable about\, and aware of\, the needs of individuals with disabilities. \nIf you are unable to join in person\, you can join via Zoom.

SUMMARY:Suyash Pradhan MS Thesis Defense
DESCRIPTION:Title: COPILOT: Cooperative Perception using Lidar for Handoffs between Road Side Units \nCommittee Members:\nProf. Kaushik Chowdhury (Advisor)\nProf. Stratis Ioannidis\nProf. Jennifer Dy \nAbstract:\nThis thesis presents COPILOT\, a ML-based approach that allows vehicles requiring ubiquitous high bandwidth connectivity to identify the most suitable road side units (RSUs) through proactive handoffs. By cooperatively exchanging the data obtained from local 3D Lidar point clouds within adjacent vehicles and with coarse knowledge of their relative positions\, COPILOT identifies transient blockages to all candidate RSUs along the path under study. Such cooperative perception is critical for choosing RSUs with highly directional links required for mmWave bands\, which majorly degrade in the absence of LOS. COPILOT proposes three modules that operate in an inter-connected manner: (i) As an alternative to sending raw Lidar point clouds\, it extracts and transmits low-dimensional intermediate features to lower the overhead of inter-vehicle messaging; (ii) It utilizes an attention-mechanism to place greater emphasis on data collected from specific vehicles\, as opposed to nearest neighbor and distance-based selection schemes\, and (iii) it experimentally validates the outcomes using an outdoor testbed composed of an autonomous car and Talon AD7200 60GHz routers emulating the RSUs\, accompanied by the public release of the datasets. Results reveal COPILOT yields upto 69.8% and 20.42% improvement in latency and throughput compared to traditional reactive handoffs for mmWave networks\, respectively
