“I chose Duke over a couple of other programs because the overall climate was one of higher expectations—a climate where the most would be expected. I appreciated the atmosphere created by my advisor and my group—challenging me to become more competent, to always be thinking outside of the immediate area of what I was studying, asking myself what’s the bigger picture, trying to find weaknesses in my understanding or my work. You never knew when someone might ask you a difficult question.”

Research Categories: Response of Hot QCD Matter to Hard Probes
Research Description: In relativistic heavy-ion collisions nuclear matter melts into a state of de-confined quarks and gluons. Often in such a collision, quarks will scatter at a large angle and propagate through the medium. An interesting question which arises is how does the medium respond to these hard probes? There is experimental evidence to suggest that the propagating quarks may generate conical Mach cone like flow in the medium. My research has investigated various formalisms to theoretically treat this question.

Xinjing Huang, Graduate Student Research Assistant for Electrical and Computer Engineering, displays a transparent solar cell at ECE Professor Stephen Forrest’s lab at 1437 EECS on North Campus in Ann Arbor, MI on September 3, 2021.
The new process for generating organic photovoltaics (OPVs) incorporates non-fullerene acceptors and is resulting in expected operation lifetimes of 30 years, making them suitable for niche applications that including installation inside building windows.
OPVs are flexible, can be manufactured relatively inexpensively and recent developments by Forrests group have proven them to be semi-transparent as well as efficient.

USGS and members of the DROP Lab (droplab.engin.umich.edu) embark on the Great Lakes to test out their autonomous underwater vehicle that can conduct image surveys. This image data would then be post-processed with various neural networks to detect and record the numbers of fish and mussels of certain species. This system would then be used to determine the populations of these species across the great lakes.

PhD Student Matt Bernhard (left) along with Victor Ongkowijaya and Stephen Nurushev, both Undergrads in Electrical Engineering and Computer Science, set up a used voting machine acquired via Ebay One of the machines that the students broke down found voting record data dating from 2004–2014. These machines are still widely used in Louisiana and South Carolina.
A new special topics course on election security taught by CSE Professor J. Alex Haldermand and Bernhard provides students with a deep examination of the past, present, and future of US elections, informed by perspectives from computer security, tech policy, human factors, and more.

Brandon Wong, Research Fellow, Civil and Environmental Engineering, remotely activates valves to control the flow of water throughout an 11 square mile area of Ann Arbor.
Wong and his team under Assistant Professor of Civil and Environmental Engineering Branko Kerkez created one of the most densely instrumented systems in the country. The experiment pushes the boundaries of what is achievable with the Internet of Water by using valves to instantly redesign these spaces collectively as a system ready to immediately adapt to unpredictable changes in storm patterns.

Necmiye Ozay, an assistant professor of electrical engineering and computer science talks to Lars Petter Nilsson, EECES Graduate Student Research Assistant, and her group testing their software at Mcity - U-M's model town for autonomous vehicles. Unlike most driverless cars, which are programmed by humans, Ozay's method uses a form of artificial intelligence. Given the vehicle specs, the rules of the road, and the laws of physics, their algorithm can program the car to drive safely.

Kevin Leach, CSE Research Fellow, and Kevin Angstadt, CSE PhD Student, run a demonstration in which an autonomous vehicle drives while it is being attacked over Wifi in the M-Air Facility on North Campus of the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor, MI on September 28, 2018.
Westley Weimer, CSE Professor, and his group of researchers have created "Trusted and Resilient Mission Operation," software that hardens autonomous vehicles to detect and repair current attacks, and prevent future attacks.

Daniel Lebbin investigates habitat specialization by Amazonian birds, focusing on a remarkable group of birds that inhabit patches of spiny Guadua bamboo. From a platform above a Peruvian forest, he prepares to survey a bamboo patch below, hoping to learn what aspects of bamboo make this habitat favorable for bird specialization.

Changyeong Jeong, PhD Candidate in Electrical and Computer Engineering, handles an ultrathin Ag film based OLED inside Professor Jay Guo’s lab at 3537 G.G. Brown on North Campus in Ann Arbor MI on May 5, 2021.
Guo’s group is systematically improving the light power distribution in OLEDs by removing the waveguide mode and optimizing the organic stacks and the ultrathin AG anode. This simple yet effective method leads to significantly enhanced performance of the external quantum efficiency of the OLED.
Jeong and Guo’s solution is not only simple in process but also can achieve high throughput and low cost with excellent compatibility with the large-scale manufacturing process in the display industry. In principle, the modal elimination approach introduced in this work could be extended to other solid-state light emitting diodes (LEDs) such as perovskites, quantum-dots, or III-V based LEDs since all of which are susceptible to the issue of light trapping as waveguide mode.

Kaihua Zhang, Graduate Student Research Assistant from Naval Architecture and Marine Engineering, simulates marine structures in real world degradation while recording the crack length using UV light and a GoPro camera inside the Gerstacker Engineering Research Building at the Materials Science and Engineering Lab Room 1020 on Wednesday, February 6, 2019.
Photos of the crack are quickly analyzed by computer vision algorithms to calculate the length. The developed method can be applied to ships for monitoring structural health.

BME Assistant Research Scienstist Ramkumar Tiruvannamalai Annamalai goes through the process steps with his team to develop injectable cell clusters that create micro-climates accelerating bone regeneration inside lab 2453 at the Ann and Robert H. Lurie Biomedical Engineering Building on July 19, 2019 in Ann Arbor, MI.
Expanded and primed progenitor cells, taken from bone marrow or fat tissues, are encased with biomaterials that give cues to regenerate bone more quickly than untreated cells.
The project, developed by BME Professor Jan Stegemann and lightheartedly called "bone spackle" envisions a scenario where you could use cells from other people and have a ready to use, off the shelf bone filling product primed to regenerate bone inside any body.
