Alex Phipps will defend his dissertation, entitled "Modeling and Characterization of Piezoelectric Energy Harvesting Systems with the Pulse Resonant Converter." All are welcome to attend.
Within IMG, MATLAB codes are used extensively to predict device performance, usually via lumped element models (LEMs). As these models increase in complexity, it becomes harder to keep track of the many workspace variables, function input/output syntax, data formats, etc. It can also be extremely difficult to save simulation results or post-process in organized ways.
Dr. Sheplak and Dr. Nishida will be giving a talk on the state of IMG in Larsen 234. All IMG members are encouraged to participate.
