Project Description:

The project is to study how to integrate communications and radar sensing in the same signal and hardware platform. The purpose is for the control and navigation of UAV networks.

Requirements:

Prefered background in signal processing and control.

Project Description:

Under solid particle erosion within aeroengines, the surface topography of blade substrates change on a microstructural level, which is related to the particle morphology and erosion parameters (such as velocity and flux).

The student will develop quantifiable parameters for eroded roughness (using methods such as 2D Fourier transforms etc.) in relation to large scale particle statistical quantities such as sphericity, roundness etc. obtained from image segmentation.

Requirements:

Python/MATLAB, Fourier transforms, image processing, basic structural mechanics

Project Description:

Students will work with graduate students in Dr. Tanaka's lab to design control systems for aerial/naval/ground vehicles that are resilient against various security and privacy attacks.

Requirements:

Preferred academic backgrounds include basic control theory, robotics, probability theory, and statistics.
