Engineering Student Research

Caleb Jacobs' research with Dr. Hayes involves
the optimization of temperature and feed
pertaining to the synthesis of PAMAM
dendrimers, a process that has an exothermic
reaction. This increased temperature creates a
problem because lower temperatures are
required to add reactants. The scope of this
research seeks to automatically control
reactant inputs through a temperature
feedback using Arduino Uno.

Noah Koliadko has been working with Jay Johnson and
Simon Wing on a NASA project that aims to understand
magnetospheric and ionospheric processes that cause
ionospheric scintillations, modifications to radio waves
caused by small-scale structures in the ionosphere.
Scintillations can prevent GPS receivers from locking
onto signals, thus reducing the accuracy of these devices.
Noah has been analyzing TEC (total electron content)
data and scintillation data to determine if it is possible to
link TEC variations to particular generation mechanisms
and source regions of scintillations, which would improve
capabilities to resolve and model scintillation effects on
communication signals and navigation links.

William Yoong is working with Dr.Kwon to develop
mathematical models of battery systems. This
project aims to advance battery management
systems to be optimal which in turn will offer us a
greater insight into electric vehicles and mobile
devices, as they become of increasing relevance in
our current day market.
William taught a robotics course at Andrews
Academy during the spring 2022 semester.
