Machine Learning Optimization of OAM-Mediated Nonlinear Fiber Optics
Mentors Project Description Structured light – i.e. light with spatially-tailored intensity, phase, or polarization properties – has become a ubiquitous tool across myriad applications in optics; including biological imaging, quantum optics, telecommunications, and more. In particular, it has been shown that light beams which carry orbital angular momentum (OAM) can propagate for kilometer-scale distances in […]
Studying Thermal Properties of Direct Air Capture Adsorbents with Hot Disk Instruments
Mentors Project Description Climate change is among the most critical challenges facing humanity today. Society’s infrastructure, agriculture, and health are threatened by global warming, which leads to floods, unprecedented weather patterns, and damaging natural disasters. No amount of emissions reductions alone will be able to reduce emissions enough to stop irreparable global warming. Thus, Direct […]
Automating and Integrating Additive Manufacturing of Nanoengineered Materials
Mentors Project Description The Additive Assembly Lab at Boston University focuses on understanding and harnessing the relationships between materials synthesis, assembly process, and multi-scale architecture in additive manufacturing (AM) to create new functional materials and devices. Current projects in the group employ different additive manufacturing techniques to pattern various nano-engineered materials, such as highly heterogeneous […]
