Please join us for the Kummer Innovation and Entrepreneurship (I&E) Doctoral Fellow research presentation panel on Friday, April 8 from 12:00 p.m.-1:00 p.m. in the Physics-104 room. The Kummer Institute for Student Success, Research, and Economic Development’s Kummer Student Programs will host students, staff, faculty, and visiting alumni on academies as four Kummer I&E Doctoral Fellows provide a brief overview of their research followed by a Q&A with the audience. Light refreshments will be served.

The presentations will feature the following research concentrations:

• Active Microwave Thermography (AMT), An Overview - AMT is a Nondestructive Testing (NDT) technique that utilizes the electromagnetic properties of a sample under test to effectively heat said material. This heat is then observed on the surface with an infrared camera and any potential defects within the material can be seen on that surface level. (Logan Wilcox, Electrical Engineering)

• Accelerating Circular Economy Transitions for a Sustainable Built Environment, A Systems-Based Decision-Making Framework - Targeting the acceleration of circular economy transition to a sustainable built environment using a systems-based framework and to generate strategies that redesign the building sector to better manage resources and create value. (Radwa Eissa, Civil Engineering)
• Long-Range Interactions Between Molecules – Gas-Phase Molecular dynamics is essential in many areas like Atmospheric or Astrochemical Dynamics, particularly when molecules are at low pressure and temperature (long-range interactions). This presentation shows the obtention of the Potential Energy Surfaces for any Gas-Phase Molecular dynamic systems in the long-range base on their multipole expansion. (Adrian Batista, Chemistry)
• Geometric Control of Glass 3D-Printing Via Thermal Imaging Feedback: A brief discussion of 3D printing optically-transparent glass, feedback control, and thermal imaging. (Aidan Brooks, Mechanical Engineering)
