Biomechanics
High-Tech Health Patient imaging data, such as CT or MRI scans, are used to build interactive 3-D computer models of the arteries and veins and to simulate blood flow in order to design customized surgeries. The collaboration among engineers, computer scientists, and doctors improves results for patients.

Professors Cortes and McEneaney elevated to IEEE Fellows

Each year, following a rigorous evaluation procedure, the IEEE Fellow Committee recommends a select group of recipients for one of the Association’s most prestigious honors, elevation to IEEE Fellow.  Less than 0.1% of voting members are selected annually for this member grade elevation.

Jorge Cortes
for contributions to geometric control, nonsmooth dynamical systems, and distributed control of multi-agent systems

William McEneaney
for contributions to optimal control and estimation in nonlinear systems
 
Professor de Callafon helps build cyber-infrastructure to aid wildfire hazard assessment and response

The project, called WIFIRE, starts October 1 and is funded under a three-year grant worth approximately $2.65 million. Participants include researchers from the San Diego Supercomputer Center (SDSC), the California Institute for Telecommunications and Information Technology’s (Calit2) Qualcomm Institute, and the Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering (MAE) department at the university’s Jacobs School of Engineering.
UCSD Coordinated Robotics Lab wins “Best of What’s New” award in Popular Science

The SkySweeper robot, designed by Nick Morozovsky in the UCSD Coordinated Robotics Lab, has won a “Best of What’s New” award in Popular Science.  Skysweeper is a simple V-shaped robotic design for power line inspection tasks.  It has a motor-driven “elbow” in the middle, and "hands" equipped with clamps that open and close to move down a line in an inchworm motion.
