Currently we are developing an improved Jet Engine and Wind Tunnel Research Laboratory at the
MCERC. Research in Active Flow Control
of axial compressors as commonly found in
civil jet engines as well as modeling and control
of
commercial jet engines are current ongoing projects.
Topics of active work are found in Biomedical Signal Processing, Estimation, and Sensor Development
as well as
Autonomous Wwheelchair Driving using Deep Learning, and prosthetic device control using sEMG signals.
Currently we are working on a number of projects
that relate to Biomedical, Aerospace Engineering, Controls, Added Manufacturing, and Alternative Energy.
Intelligent Systems: Control of an automated wheel chair for autonomous navigation and drive within care facilites
Using Convolutional Neural Networks along with a camera system
a powered wheelchair is controlled to navigate in closed spaces.
Stall precursor detection in axial compressor systems
- The early detection of stall precursors can be usefull
in active control of jet engines. Our work focuses on Spike Stall precursor detection.
Model and System Identification
- Deep learning, model fusion, intelligent systems, system identification, eigensystem realization
estimation and heuristic optimization.
