2:00 PM - 3:00 PM	Mechanical Engineering Seminar Location: > See description for location Contact: Mechanical Engineering Department Description: Mechanical Engineering (MNE) SEMINAR DATE: April 12, 2024 TIME: 2:00 p.m. - 3:00 p.m. LOCATION: Science and Engineering (SENG) 110 SPEAKER #1: Menaka Konara, MS in Mechanical Engineering (Advisor: Dr. Kihan Park) TOPIC: Optically Controlled Microrobots for Biomedical Applications ABSTRACT: Microrobotics has evolved as an interesting research area with the development of new microfabrication techniques and the applicability of these micro units to real-world applications. At the macro scale, a robotic system can be identified as a machine that can be programmable to carry out pre-defined tasks. However, the characteristics of their counterparts at the micro/nanoscale are slightly different. Therefore, different approaches are taken when it comes to the design and fabrication of these units. The importance of micro/nano scale robots has been identified with the development of microfluidic devices for biomedical applications. They have shown promising functionalities that can be advantageous when it comes to specific applications such as cancer treatment and diagnosis in a non-invasive manner. Among the other types of micro-robotics, the light-actuated microrobots are widely studied for its promise of biocompatibility, real-time control, live feedback, etc. With regards to optically controlled microrobots, they utilize tightly focused laser beams for micro/nano-scale motion. These laser beams create optical traps that allow manipulation of micromachines in complex microfluidic environments. Real time control of these micromachines can be an important tool for biomedical applications. Further, muti-functional microrobots and swarm of microrobots have a great potential to deliver results not only for in vitro but also for future in vivo applications. In this presentation, optically controlled microrobots and their applicability for biomedical applications will be presented. SPEAKER #2: Joshua James Banez, MS in Mechanical Engineering (Advisor: Dr. Mehdi Raessi) TOPIC: Advancing the AST Probe Calibration Process through Computational and Experimental Analyses and Novel Fixture Design ABSTRACT: Ametek Brookfield's Advanced Sensing Technology (AST) probe calibration process currently takes over 109 hours to fully complete, which is very long and costly. By shortening the calibration process, lead-times on AST instruments could be decreased, more probes could be calibrated, and the cost to manufacture would be reduced. AST probes are high-tech and precise measurement tools used in a variety of applications to report temperature and viscosity of the desired fluid. The calibration process for such an instrument requires time in an environmental chamber for three different cycles: the burn-in cycle, the air cycle, and the oil cycle. The burn-in cycle is a 27-hour process that cycles the temperature to set a base for the AST probes. The probes are then put through a 16-hour calibration where the probes are suspended in air and then a 66-hour calibration where the probes are submersed in a calibrated oil standard. The solution chosen to speed up calibration required re-design of the current tray fixture for holding the oil in the calibration cycle. The current fixture takes up a lot of mass in the system during both the air and oil cycles of the calibration process. This mass leads to a greater heat capacity in the system which, in turn, adds to the time it takes for the system to come to steady state at each calibration point. The project involved both designing a new fixture and analyzing the time that could be saved in the calibration cycle. Experimental testing with prototypes was then used alongside the simulation to provide more accurate results. Using a combined knowledge of heat transfer, thermal systems, design, and manufacturing engineering this project was able to create a novel fixture that reduced the heat capacity in the system by 31.65% during the oil calibration. This led to an estimated time savings of 33 hours, or 50%, for the just oil cycle from the simulation analysis. The prototypes were machined and experimentally tested to show an actual time savings for the oil cycle of 29.8 hours resulting in an oil cycle that takes only 54.85% of the current time. The new design delivers similar levels of accuracy in the calibration process, while significantly shortening the process.

10:00 AM - 12:00 PM	ELE Master of Science Thesis Defense by Michael O'Keefe-ECE Location: > See description for location Cost: Free Contact: > See Description for contact information Description: Topic: Heterogeneous Integration of III-V MUTC Photodetector on Thin Film Lithium Niobate for use in Coherent PM Optical Link Location: Lester W. Cory Conference Room, Science & Engineering Building (SENG), Room 213A Zoom Conference Link: https://umassd.zoom.us/j/91952634499 Meeting ID: 919 5263 4499 Passcode: 044704 Abstract: Optical devices are important for ever increasing bandwidth requirements for modern communication and sensing systems. The emergence of phase modulated (PM) photonic links utilizing optical phase locked loops (OPLL) is allowing for higher gain and bandwidth modulation techniques to further increase data transfer rates and allow for data offloading in communications systems. Being an object of recent research, in order to enhance linear operation and achieve higher bandwidth of current PM links, thin film lithium niobate (TFLN) modulators and high-speed semiconductor photodetectors are desired. This thesis works to provide a more detailed model via simulations to predict the feasibility of utilizing a III-V semiconductor modified uni-traveling carrier (MUTC) photodetector integrated directly onto a TFLN modulator/waveguide for use in a coherent optical PM link. The first part of this thesis' work deals with investigating, modeling, and simulating Silicon Dioxide (SiO2), Silicon Nitride (SiN), and Aluminum Oxide (Al2O3) as buffer layer materials between the base of the photodetector and the TFLN waveguide to determine their effects on transmission and beam shape of the optical signal. Continuing from that work the resulting beam shape is imported into a model of the photodetector to simulate the coupling and power absorption. Lastly, important characteristics such as bandwidth, phase group delay, and responsivity of the photodetector design are simulated and used to replace the previous equation-based model in the PM link to determine the open loop gain, bandwidth, and stability limitations of the PM link.

1:00 PM - 3:00 PM	CPE Master of Science Thesis Defense by Devaj Rishi Ramsamooj-ECE Location: > See description for location Cost: Free Contact: > See Description for contact information Description: Topic: VRAD Gen: Dataset Generator for Machine Learning Detection of Vehicle-Roadside Attacks Location: Lester W. Cory Conference Room, Science & Engineering Building (SENG), Room 213A Zoom Conference Link: https://umassd.zoom.us/j/93281343753 Meeting ID: 932 8134 3753 Passcode: 518247 Abstract: Autonomous vehicles are gaining popularity rapidly for transportation safety and efficiency. However, to achieve fully automated driving without human intervention, cars need to be aware of traffic and environmental dynamics. One key component of their awareness is through communication. Connected and Automated Vehicles (CAV) leverage both automation and communication technologies to obtain information with nearby devices for decision making. Vehicular Ad-Hoc NETworks (VANETs) provide an architecture to support CAV with carsâ€™ On-Board Units (OBUs) to communicate with each other and other devices like Roadside Units (RSUs). This communication can involve sharing information about traffic conditions, road hazards, and other data. Security of RSUs is crucial to ensure reliability and trustworthiness of its communication. Some security concerns with RSUs are authentication of RSUs, data integrity, etc. Addressing these concerns will require multiple types of mechanisms such as encryption and intrusion detection systems (IDS) to prevent misbehaving RSUs. With any type of communication, security of information is always at the forefront. Conventional security techniques have been tested, such as password protection and biometric security, but they do not meet the needs of the high dynamics of VANET. Machine learning and Deep learning have been proposed as viable options. Machine and Deep learning can learn without human intervention, which is highly desirable to CAV. Since CAV is still in its infancy, there is little data to train and test Machine and Deep learning algorithms. Some attempts to synthesize attack datasets but only on vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V) communication. To the best of our knowledge, there is no data generator for vehicle-to-infrastructure (V2I). This research fills the gap by providing a dataset generator to inject misbehaving RSUs. Using simulation, data is generated to be able train and test several algorithms. Our work reveals traditional machine learning algorithms are not sufficient to solve VANET security problems. The deep learning algorithm shows promise, but more analysis will be needed to be suitable for VANET security.
