Infinite-dimensional integrated digital image correlation (IDIC)
Background
Digital image correlation (DIC) methods are common in laboratory experiments. Often termed two-dimensional digital image correlation (2D-DIC), the method uses a camera to acquire images of a planar object that is deforming nominally within the specimen surface plane that is being imaged. DIC algorithms typically perform the image registration...

Autorotative precision payload delivery device
Problem
Dr. Jayant Sirohi and his team have developed an autorotative payload decelerator device that can be dropped from any type of aircraft at high speeds. Dr. Sirohi is the M.J. Thompson Regents Professorship in Aerospace Engineering & Engineering Mechanics and the Principal Investigator of the Vertical Lift Research Center of Excellence funded...

Breaking temporal symmetries
Background A major challenge in telecommunications is placing antennas in a highly dense environment. Since typical non-magnetic radiators or scatterers obey reciprocity and have time symmetric responses, radiation patterns of an antenna in transmit and receive modes are identical. Because of this, densely placed antennas are prone to receiving echoes...
