You are invited to a seminar with Dr. Bo Mi Lee, a postdoctoral associate in the Department of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering at the University of Central Florida, titled "Multifunctional Materials for Intelligent and Autonomous Systems."
Abstract: Intelligent and autonomous systems, characterized by their ability to operate independently or interact seamlessly with humans, are revolutionizing fields ranging from manufacturing to healthcare. These systems integrate artificial intelligence, robotics, and advanced sensing technologies to function autonomously, performing tasks without human intervention or in collaboration with humans. A key component of these systems is advanced sensing technologies, which serve as their ‘eyes and ears’, enabling real-time monitoring for adaptive responses.
The objective of this seminar is to explore the design and implementation of multifunctional materials to enhance these sensing technologies in intelligent and autonomous applications. These materials are foundational in developing innovative sensors, offering new dimensions in system intelligence and autonomy. We will discuss the current challenges in understanding multifunctional materials and how computational models, derived from multi-scale experimental measurements, aid in addressing these challenges. The presentation will showcase the use of these models in designing new sensors for applications in manufacturing equipment monitoring. Additionally, we will explore the assembly of advanced materials using additive manufacturing, specifically for creating sensors in wound dressings. The session will also cover the analysis of complex sensing responses using machine learning algorithms, emphasizing the synergy between material innovation and computational intelligence.
In conclusion, this presentation aims to highlight the transformative impact of multifunctional materials in the advancement of intelligent and autonomous systems. By integrating advanced material science with computational techniques, we can significantly reshape monitoring and adaptive capabilities across various sectors, including healthcare, manufacturing, and energy.
