Scientific advancements in fields ranging from flow diagnostics to autonomous vehicles rely on the ability to quantitatively sense, measure, and understand physical phenomena. As we study more complex systems in harsher environments, new methods are needed for gathering and perceiving information. The Sensing Technologies Lab develops new diagnostic techniques and sensor systems for energetic materials, combustion, multiphase flows, hypersonics, as well as robotics. We utilize optical diagnostics, digital holography, magnetostatics, and machine learning/system identification methods to study complex physical phenomena. |
