Colorado State University's College of Health and Human Sciences celebrates its graduates at the Spring 2022 Commencement. May 15, 2022
Members of UMTRI Assistant Research Scientist Monica Jone’s research group run a study to help people avoid and treat motion sickness in autonomous vehicles at the Transportation Research Institute at the University of Michigan on March 4, 2020.
Jones and her group measure baseline metrics such as skin temperature, posture, heart rate, and facial expressions first. These metrics are measured against changes as study participants ride in a vehicle with specific maneuvers to test levels of motion sickness. Jones hopes to understand the fundamentals of human response that will help enable autonomous vehicle manufacturers and future related technologies.

Cassandra Champagne (right), Graduate Student Research Assistant in Civil and Environmental Engineering, and Chenghang Liu, Civil Engineering Undergraduate, deploy a commercially available DJI Phantom 4 drone.
Instrumented with standard optical cameras and a third-party infrared camera, these drones can be programmed to run autonomously and can generate extremely accurate 3-D models of the landfill that can track increased biodegradation activity as well as monitor the settlement of the landfill over time.
The project, run by CEE Professor Dimitrios Zekkos, plans to input this imagery data, with weather station data, into a computational machine learning model to generate spatial maps of methane concentration.

Maria Redoutey, Graduate Student Research Assistant at Civil and Environmental Engineering, works on developing small scale functional actuators to be used in micro-robotics inside Evgueni Filipov’s laboratory located at 2144 GG Brown on North Campus Ann Arbor, MI. on Wednesday, February 27, 2018.
Many components of micro-robots must be fabricated in a flat sheet due to their size (on the order of micrometers). This results in a limited range of motion, especially in out-of-plane bending, which is needed for many robot movements such as walking or gripping. If the micro-robots could be fabricated in a flat sheet and then reconfigure on their own into a 3D shape, their ranges of motion could be greatly increased.
Redoutey is working with a shape memory polymer that is 3D printed on top of a flexible polymer. When the materials are heated, the stress releases and folds at the clear hinges into a 3D box.

Chenghang Liu (left), Civil Engineering Undergraduate, with Cassandra Champagne, Graduate Student Research Assistant, set up a commercially available DJI Phantom 4 drone instrumented with standard optical cameras and a third-party infrared camera inside a landfill in Midland, MI. on October 16, 2018.
These drones can autonomously collect optical imagery, infrared imagery, and methane concentration data in a fraction of the time it takes for someone to manually walk around the landfill taking individual methane readings.
Methane gas (CH4) is generated in landfills through the anaerobic (absence of oxygen) digestion of the buried waste and is estimated by the EPA to be 28-36 times worse than carbon dioxide (CO2) in the atmosphere because it is that much more efficient at trapping heat in the ozone.

Civil and Environmental Engineering Research Fellow and Graduate Student Tian Xia (right) talks to CEE Student Zijie Lin as they set up a lab-scale non-thermal plasma device that has previously been proven to achieve greater than 99% inactivation of an airborne viral surrogate, MS2 phage, a virus that infects E.coli bacteria at the Barton Farms family pig farm in Homer, MI on Monday, February 11, 2019.
The objective is to design and construct a larger, pilot-scale unit whose size, capacity, and design flexibility will allow it to be used for in vivo testing with live animals in either an actual farm environment (e.g. pork or poultry production facilities) or the
more controlled conditions of an animal testing laboratory.

Manoj Thota, a graduate student research assistant in mechanical engineering, makes adjustments to a prototype of an origami traffic sound barrier in an anechoic chamber in the G.G. Brown building on the University of Michigan's North Campus on November 7, 2017.
The barrier combines a set of cylindrical rods with an origami base. The origami base allows the rods to be easily reconfigured in different patterns, which are designed to block different noise frequencies. This technology could be applied alongside busy highways to block different noise frequencies depending on how traffic is moving. The barriers are also wind-permeable, lighter, and better at dissipating specific frequencies than current barriers.
The research was conducted in the Structural Dynamics and Controls Laboratory under the direction of Kon-Well Wang, the Stephen P. Timoshenko Collegiate Professor and Tim Manganello / BorgWarner Department Chair of Mechanical Engineering. Thota helped lead the research.

Corliss "Coco" Raymond (center), 68, walks with University of Michigan researchers in a predetermined route as part of research project at Clark East Tower, a senior care housing facility, in Ypsilanti, MI on September 6, 2018.
Raymond is a research participant in a project run by CEE Professor SangHyun Lee research group in which researchers track the varying stress levels of senior citizens induced by their physical environments. Participants wear sensors that track heart and perspiration rates, and blood pressure as they move outside of the facility in a variety of environments.
Raymond suffers from Neurofibromatosis, a condition that causes tumors to grow externally and internally. In the last six months, Raymond has felt more pain in her knees and calves and is fearful that the tumors and their potential bursting is causing this pain.
