Fall 2019
This thesis aims to develop a motion control strategy for an Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) to execute a pursuit algorithm based on a vision based object detection algorithm. This enables a pursuer UAV to follow a target UAV based on images obtained from the onboard camera of the pursuer. The UAV...

Fall 2021
Motivated by relevant applications in spray cooling, coating, and inkjet printing, droplet impact dynamics on a solid surface is investigated both numerically and experimentally by varying several major control parameters such as impact velocity, contact angle, and surface temperature. First,...

Spring 2013
In this thesis, ultrasonic B-scan signal processing is investigated. A B-scan displays a cross-sectional view of the test piece and defects within it. Compared to A-scan signals, B-scan images offer more reliable fault detection. Nonetheless, traditional ultrasonic signal processing methods are...

Uncertainty in Life Cycle Assessments of Well-to-Wheel Greenhouse Gas Emissions of Transportation Fuels Derived from Various Crude Oils
DownloadFall 2016
Growing concern over climate change has created pressure on the oil and gas industry to reduce their greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. Several life cycle assessment (LCA) studies have examined various crude oils in an attempt to determine which have the lowest and highest well-to-wheel (WTW) GHG...

Understanding the Role of Surface Microgeometries on Wetting: Designing Robust Superhydrophobic Surfaces
DownloadSpring 2014
This thesis is concerned with effects of surface microgeometries on wetting, aiming at providing instructions for reproducing controllable wettability on artificial surfaces and designing robust superhydrophobic surfaces. First, the origin of edge effect is understood by a thermodynamic approach...
