MIT School of Engineering’s Post

ECE University Distinguished Professor, Dushan Boroyevich, recently received an honorary doctorate from the University of West Bohemia! 🎓 Boroyevich, Director Emeritus for the Center for Power Electronics Systems, Virginia Tech, understands how critical international collaboration can be for the field of power electronics. ⚡ Read the full story 📖 https://lnkd.in/eR6qFzDi

🔋 🚗⚡ Congratulations to Dr. Avimanyu Sahoo, a researcher at UAH, who was awarded a prestigious NSF EPSCoR Fellowship of $279,105 to delve into the realm of enhancing lithium-ion battery packs in electric vehicles (EVs)! 🎉 As we witness the rapid growth of EVs on our roads, ensuring their safety, efficiency, and longevity becomes paramount. Dr. Sahoo's research will focus on tackling the challenges of preventing catastrophic failures in lithium-ion battery packs, a crucial step toward widespread acceptance and adoption of EVs. 💙 Learn more: https://ow.ly/HIUP50Rotc7

Our paper on a consistent method for tuning of vibration absorbers has now been published in the International Journal of Mechanical Sciences: https://lnkd.in/dKPqZP48 A special thanks to my fellow authors Boris Lossouarn and Jean-François Deü from Conservatoire National des Arts et Métiers (Cnam) for a good and fruitful collaboration. The work was initiated during a visiting appointment at Cnam. The support by Cnam's scientific council is highly appreciated. Quick advice to those of you designing mechanical vibration absorbers: Use the EMCF instead of the mass ratio! Thereby you automatically account for modal interaction.

Dear colleagues, you are invited to submit your papers to the special issue " Digital Twin Technologies in Modern Transportation Systems."

This morning (online for me) in Salzburg at the session of the European Academy of Sciences and Arts. With Prof Dr Klaus Mainzer - President EASA and Prof Dr Ioannis Liritzis - Dean of EASA Class IV. Topics: Science - Technology - Engineering - Mathematics for Arts & Culture. Discovering the reality of the existence. And its beauty.

Read our latest published paper in Advanced Materials Interfaces! We studied the role of the van der Waals Force effects on stability of Violet Phosphorus for different substrates using s-SNOM! Thanks to Sarabpreet Singh for leading the project, and thanks to our collaborators at Cornell University and Air Force Office of Scientific Research (AFOSR) #violet_phosphorus #vdW_effects #SNOM
