Project Description This project aims to study the gaps that arise in understanding and supporting self-regulated learning in the newly emerging online learning space, as demonstrated by the varied behaviors of different populations of students. In particular, we will address questions of how learning management system traces indicate successful self-regulated...

Project Description Transmitters used for radio frequency (RF) communications systems (cell phones, wifi, etc) need to be made linear so they don't introduce distortion into the data signal. Normally, this is done with digital signal processing techniques to "pre-distort" a signal as a way to correct for the nonlinearity of...

Project Description Ultrasound imaging is an important tool for medical diagnostics, but we must work to develop imaging sequences that can image faster and with greater clarity to address a wider range of patients and clinical tasks. We have developed a method that involves transmitting from each element on an...

Project Description The Vance Lab at the University of Colorado Boulder specializes in indoor and outdoor air quality investigations, with a special focus on aerosols or particulate matter (PM). PM can range from a few nanometers to micrometers in size and can be generated from a variety of sources, from...

Project Description The carbon cycle controls all life on earth, yet we still lack a complete understanding of the largest reactive organic carbon pool on the planet, dissolved organic matter (DOM). Important ecosystem functions rely and depend on DOM as it controls nutrient availability, light attenuation, microbial respiration, and contaminant...

Project Description We are looking for a student to aid in understanding the career pathways of global engineering students and building a research base on the education of these students. This study hopes to unearth some of the structures in global engineering and development that are both preventing and aiding...

Project Description Geothermal energy systems (GES) use groundwater as a source or sink of heat for heating or cooling. Groundwater is extracted from an aquifer, passed through a heat exchanger, and returned to the aquifer at a temperature that is warmer (if used for cooling) or cooler (if used for...

Project Description Volumetric Additive Manufacturing (VAM) is the latest and greatest 3D printing technology that is bringing science fiction 3D printing to life! By projecting images into a volume of liquid material at different angles, an accumulation of energy builds within the material. When the energy accumulation in a region...

Project Description The overarching project seeks to model how we perceive our orientation and motion in our world. In order to do this, we will be taking data from human subjects. We will be using motion devices in the Bioastronautics laboratory to move subjects around while we ask them what...

Project Description Generative adversarial networks (GANs) have become the state of the art of unsupervised learning, bringing significant improvements to artificial intelligence applications. However, the GAN algorithm does not often converge and there is no well-developed theoretical framework for the study of its convergence. In this project, we will develop...
