Pathological assessment guides lung cancer diagnosis, treatment selection, and prognostic evaluation, yet current CPath approaches rely on task-specific models for isolated objectives. Although pan-cancer foundation models offer…
The circulatory system, comprising the heart and blood vessels, is vital for nutrient transport, waste removal, and homeostasis. Traditional computational models often treat cardiac electromechanics and blood flow dynamics separately,…
Detection and monitoring of patients with pulmonary hypertension, defined as mean blood pressure in the main pulmonary artery above 25 mmHg, requires a combination of imaging and hemodynamic measurements. This study demonstrates how to…
We develop a 3D aerothermodynamic simulator for the Orion reentry capsule at hypersonic speeds, a timely case study given its role in upcoming lunar missions. The large computational meshes required for these scenarios make traditional…
This paper introduces an experimental configuration, called the Prandtl-Meyer plus duct arrangement (PMD), designed to study high-enthalpy radiating flows undergoing nonequilibrium de-excitation. The original design proposed by Wilson,…
Cloud cavitation causes nontrivial energy concentration and acoustic shielding in liquid, and its control is a long-standing challenge due to complex dynamics of bubble clouds. We present a new framework to study closed-loop control of…
Advanced feedforward control methods enable mechatronic systems to perform varying motion tasks with extreme accuracy and throughput. The aim of this paper is to develop a data-driven feedforward controller that addresses input…
Fine particulate matter (PM$_{2.5}$) is one of the criteria air pollutants regulated by the Environmental Protection Agency in the United States. There is strong evidence that ambient exposure to (PM$_{2.5}$) increases risk of mortality and…
Feedforward control can greatly improve the response time and control accuracy of any mechatronic system. However, in order to compensate for the effects of modeling errors or disturbances, it is imperative that this type of control works…
Prognostics and Health Management is crucial for the reliability and lifetime assessment of Polymer Electrolyte Fuel Cells (PEFCs). Here, we review the current advances on this topic, focusing mainly on key degradation mechanisms and…
In this paper, a novel robust tracking control scheme for a general class of discrete-time nonlinear systems affected by unknown bounded uncertainty is presented. By solving a parameterized optimal tracking control problem subject to the…
Behavioral control over stressful stimuli induces resilience to future conditions when control is lacking. The medial prefrontal cortex(mPFC) is a critically important brain region required for plasticity of stress resilience. We found that…
Analyzing the cardiovascular system condition via Electrocardiography (ECG) is a common and highly effective approach, and it has been practiced and perfected over many decades. ECG sensing is non-invasive and relatively easy to acquire,…
Respiration is a critical vital sign for infants, and continuous respiratory monitoring is particularly important for newborns. However, neonates are sensitive and contact-based sensors present challenges in comfort, hygiene, and skin…
