Micro-Mechanics: Particle-Matrix Interactions & Damage Evolution

A finite element model based on microscopic analysis of a uniaxial test specimen of filled hyper-elastic material, showing high hydrostatic stress between aluminum particles in the matrix during extension, highlighting the tendency of highly filled polymers to develop distributed damage.

3 Pump Laser Combiner Micro-optic Device

Durable UV curable adhesively bonded joints for micro-optic packaging were developed, along with an environmentally friendly surface treatment that withstood 2000 hours of 85°C and 85% RH aging, exhibiting less than 0.05dB insertion loss.

Machine Learning: Vehicle Classifier Training

developed support vector machines (SVM) that used supervised learning to rapidly identify types of vehicles in video streams. A technique known as Histogram Oriented Gradient (HOG) was used to create a SVM that could identified viehicles based on the statistics of their shapes.
