We are witnessing rapid growth of interest in integrated photonics, especially silicon photonics, which might improve communication and measurement instruments in the coming years. Traditional ways of optical communication between computers, or between Earth and satellites, are already being replaced by integrated photonics. In the next decade, integrated photonics may be more widely used, for... Read more →

Convex analysis, set-valued analysis, as well as nonsmooth analysis are subsumed by variational analysis, a modern branch of mathematical analysis which helps one deal with lack of differentiability, with multiple solutions to equations, with irregular dependence of solutions on parameters, etc. Convex analysis found early motivation in optimization and then greatly contributed to the field,...

The primary goal of this talk is to build a bridge between research on the Minimum Principle and Dynamic Programming for (deterministic) hybrid systems, and that on stochastic optimal control theory for classical (i.e. non-hybrid) systems; this will then yield a unified framework for the optimal control of deterministic and stochastic hybrid systems. The secondary... Read more →

President Dwight D. Eisenhower established the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) in 1958, partially in response to the Soviet Union's launch of the first artificial satellite the previous year. NASA grew out of the National Advisory Committee on Aeronautics (NACA), which had been researching flight technology for more than 40 years. Shortly after taking... Read more →

Abstract: Are you aware that intellectual property is a business's most valuable asset? How do you protect your ideas? In this seminar, we will discuss various ways you can use the patent and trademark system to make sure your ideas remain your property. We will also deconstruct two drone patents to see what goes into a patent. ... Read more →
