Matias Oyarzun will be presenting his dissertation proposal, entitled " On the Design and Optimization of Zero-Net Mass-Flux Actuators for Active Flow Control Applications", at 10 a.m. on Monday, June 20th in Larsen 234. Breakfast and drinks will be provided.
Despite the slow economic recovery, IMG graduate students and post-graduate associates have continued to land top industry and government jobs. Since the spring semester, several IMG graduates have departed or will depart for full-time positions across the United States. These members are:
Congratulations to all of these former students!
Lou Cattafesta and Fei Liu attended the 161st Meeting of the Acoustical Society of America in Seattle, Washington on May 23-27.
Fei presented a talk on Thursday, May 26th, titled Analyzing acoustic response of orifices using transfer matrix method, co-authored by Matias Oyarzun and Lou Cattafesta.
Lou presented a talk on Friday, May 27th, titled An aeroacoustic microelectromechanical systems microphone phased array, co-authored by Adam Edstrand, Chris Bahr, Matt Williams, Jessica Meloy, Tiffany Reagan, Drew Wetzel and Mark Sheplak. In it, Lou described ongoing work at IMG to transition recently-developed MEMS piezoelectric microphones into phased arrays in the UF Aeroacoustic Flow Facility.
IMG undergraduates Ann Dietrich (Cattafesta), Carlos Pulido (Cattafesta), and Kevin Rosenberg (Sheplak) were recognized at tonight's Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering 2011 Awards Dinner for participation in the University Scholars Program. Ann Dietrich was also awarded a Boeing Scholarship and was recognized for presenting a top-3 research poster at a contest today. Congratulations to all of these students!
Nik Zawodny will defend his dissertation proposal entitled "Aeroacoustic Characterization of Scaled Canonical Nose Landing Gear Configurations." All are welcome to attend, however seating will be limited.
Miguel Palaviccini will defend his dissertation proposal entitled "Control of Three-Dimensional Flow Over a Turret." All are welcome to attend, however seating will be limited.
On Friday, March 25th, some IMG undergraduates will present their work at the Undergraduate Research Symposium in the Reitz Grand Ballroom. Two poster sessions are scheduled for 9-11am and 3-5pm, with oral presentations 1-3pm. The presentation schedule is attached; please come out and show your support for the IMG undergraduates!
Here is a personal note from Dr. Liu:
