Pit Fee Jao will defend his dissertation, entitled "Nanofibrous three dimensional microstructures for Energy storage and Bioengineering applications" at 3:00PM, on Wednesday, October 9th, in NEB 589. All are invited to attend. Snacks will be provided.
As part of the Fall 2013 ECE seminar series, this Thursday, August 29, Dr. David Arnold will be giving a talk that will highlight his group's development of microfabricated permanent magnets and their application in several functional microsystems.
To set the stage, he will first describe some basic concepts about magnets and physical scaling laws that motivate his group's efforts. He'll then discuss the advancement of two types of permanent magnet materials that has been made by the group; namely, electroplated layers and bonded powders, which overcome certain manufacturing and integration challenges. Finally, He'll showcase how these permanent magnet materials are being used for electromechanical actuators, energy harvesting devices, and generation of high-energy x-rays.
As seats will be limited, all are encouraged to be on time.
Justin Zito will defend his dissertation, entitled "Investigation of Microscale Dielectric Barrier Discharge Plasma Devices" on Wednesday July 17th at 2:00 pm, in Larsen 234. Refreshments will be provided.

This Friday at 11:15 AM, we have an introductory workshop on AutoCAD, Solidworks and UF Apps by the IMG Tech Committee. The primary focus of the workshop will be on UF Apps, while AutoCAD and Solidworks will be used as demo examples.
UF Apps is a software licensing system which provides convenient access to softwares like MS Office, MATLAB, AutoCAD, SolidWorks and a few others. It is free for UF Gators. You can read more about it at http://info.apps.ufl.edu/.
Prospective attendees are encouraged to download and install the Citrix receiver necessary for accessing the available softwares. Remember to bring your laptops to the workshop if possible. The last fifteen minutes will be reserved for questions and laptop specific problems.
N.B.: The regular venue for the IMG Seminar series - LAR234 - is unavailable this Friday. The venue for the workshop is LAR310.
