PhD Dissertation Defense: Ceramic Magnetic Wires at Wireless Communication Frequencies Leili Hayati Location: Online Abstract: Ferrite magnetic devices play an important role in modern wireless telecommunication systems. They generally require permanent magnets in order to magnetically polarize the ferrite material component used in these devices. The permanent magnets are bulky and take up most of […]
PhD Dissertation Defense: Topology Error Detection in Power System State Estimation Bilgehan Donmez Location: Teams Link Abstract: Growth of renewable energy, changes in weather patterns, and increases in cyber- and physical-attacks are examples of recent challenges in power system operation. To keep up with these rapid transformations, it is imperative to improve the tools used […]
Jessica Wagenseil, Ph.D. Associate Professor, Department of Mechanical Engineering and Materials Science, Washington University, St. Louis MO “Elastin mechanobiology in aortic development” ABSTRACT: The extracellular matrix protein, elastin, provides reversible extensibility to the aorta that is critical for proper function of the cardiovascular system. Elastin is deposited during late embryonic and early postnatal growth, […]
MS Thesis Defense: Data-Efficient analysis of Human Behavior by Spatio-Temporal Pose Generation and Inference Kathan Vyas Location: Zoom Link Passcode: 474462 Abstract: Identifying human pose over time provides critical information towards understanding human behavior and their physical interaction with the environment surrounding them. In the past few decades, the human pose estimation topic has witnessed […]
