Laser photocoagulation is a technique applied in the treatment of retinal diseases. While this is often done manually or using simple control schemes, we pursue an optimization-based approach, namely Model Predictive Control (MPC), to…
We present an approach for state and parameter estimation in retinal laser treatment by a novel setup where both measurement and heating is performed by a single laser. In this medical application, the temperature that is induced by the…
Laser systems emitting radiation in the visible and near infrared region are potentially hazardous for the retina of the human eye. This can result in irreparable injuries due to photomechanical, photothermal or photochemical light-tissue…
This paper explores the synergies between integrated power and thermal management (iPTM) and battery charging in an electric vehicle (EV). A multi-objective model predictive control (MPC) framework is developed to optimize the fast charging…
Laser-based surgical ablation relies heavily on surgeon involvement, restricting precision to the limits of human error. The interaction between laser and tissue is governed by various laser parameters that control the laser irradiance on…
Temperature control in solar collectors is a nonlinear problem: the dynamics of temperature rise vary according to the oil flowing through the collector and to the temperature gradient along the collector area. In this way, this work…
Age-related Macular Degeneration (AMD) is a progressive visual impairment affecting millions of individuals. Since there is no current treatment for the disease, the only means of improving the lives of individuals suffering from the…
Recently, there has been a growing interest in the usage of mm-scale composites of plasmonic nanoparticles for enhancing the rates of chemical reactions; the effect was shown recently to be predominantly associated with the elevated…
Shaping thermoplastic sheets into three-dimensional products is challenging since overheating results in failed manufactured parts and wasted material. To this end, we propose an indirect data-driven predictive control approach using Model…
The photoelectric conversion efficiency of a solar cell is dependent on its temperature. When the solar radiation is incident on the photovoltaics (PV) panel, a large portion of it is absorbed by the underlying material which increases its…
Diabetic Retinopathy (DR) is a serious and common complication of diabetes, caused by prolonged high blood sugar levels that damage the small retinal blood vessels. If left untreated, DR can progress to retinal vein occlusion and stimulate…
Tuning parameters in model predictive control (MPC) presents significant challenges, particularly when there is a notable discrepancy between the controller's predictions and the actual behavior of the closed-loop plant. This mismatch may…
We present a detailed physiological model of the retina that includes the biochemistry and electrophysiology of phototransduction, neuronal electrical coupling, and the spherical geometry of the eye. The model is a parabolic-elliptic system…
We introduce a multimodel approach to the simulation of the optical properties of molecular dyes in solution, whereby the effects of thermal fluctuations and of dielectric screening on the absorption spectra are accounted for by explicit…
We present a novel method to improve pharmacokinetics modeling, an essential step of drug development. Conventional models frequently fail to fully represent the intricacies of drug absorption and distribution, which limits their predictive…
The proper disposal and repurposing of end-of-life electric vehicle batteries are critical for maximizing their environmental benefits. This study introduces a robust model predictive control (MPC) framework designed to optimize the battery…
In computer vision, correcting the exposure level is a fundamental task for enhancing the visual quality of observations with inappropriate lightness. However, existing methodologies tend to be impractical because they lack adaptability to…
Photothermal microscopy is an emerging tool for measuring light-matter interactions with single-molecule sensitivity. It is generally believed that the spectral acquisition speed in photothermal microscopy is limited by the slow thermal…
Sampling-based model predictive control (MPC) algorithms, such as model predictive path integral (MPPI), enable approximate, gradient-free solutions to optimal control problems by drawing samples from a proposal distribution, evaluating…
Adaptive optical correction is an efficient technique to obtain high-resolution images of the retinal surface. A main limitation of adaptive optical correction, however, is the small size of the corrected image. For medical purposes it is…
