Hyun J. Kwon, PhD

We are currently developing a paper based biosensor with colorimetric detection, electrochemiluminescent detection that is merged with cell phone apps.

Paper networks provide a low-cost alternative to conventional microfluidic devices which require precise pumps or pneumatic control systems.  Fluid in the paper network transport through capillarity, therefore, it does not require pumps or power to run pumps.  In recent years, the paper became a new frontier in development of POC device The so-called Paper Analytic Device (PAD) often employs colorimetric detection scheme as it can be easily detected by eyes or cell phone apps.   Electrochemical detection method is also popular detection method to quantify the analysts.

 

Jay R Johnson, PhD

Space Weather involves the complex interactions between the sun, earth, and ionosphere that can affect life on earth.  Many aspects of modern technology can be affected by large geomagnetic storms including communications, power distribution, navigation, and military operations.  Understanding how solar wind structures powered by the sun interact with the magnetospheric environment is essential to mitigate hazards associated with energetic particles. 

His projects at Andrews include studies of the response of the magnetosphere to solar wind driving,

Jay Johnson, who recently joined the Engineering department, has led the space physics group at Princeton Plasma Physics Laboratory for the last decade on cutting edge research related to space weather.  His projects at Andrews include studies of the response of the magnetosphere to solar wind driving, first principals modeling of waves and associated particle acceleration, and magnetosphere-ionosphere coupling associated with auroral activity. 

 

 

Rodney Summerscales, PhD

Rodney Summerscales is currently working with students on projects that involve artificial intelligence and/or virtual reality.
These projects include an intelligent software system that can learn to read and summarize medical research papers, improvements to BibleOL (an online tool for learning Biblical Hebrew and Greek), and several virtual reality projects.

Will Allen (Boon-Chai Ng, Engineering, Creating and Testing Anodized Aluminum for potential application as an interposer in the test socket industry.  Summer 2015, Fall 2015

 

 

Bernardo Martinez | Architectural Viz with Oculus Rift| The research deals with implementing a framework to import files from Autodesk Revit to Unreal4. The oculus rift is a virtual reality headset. He used it to give a more in depth experience of the buildings. By wearing the oculus Bernardo was able to immerse into the 3d world and look at depth of objects
