Statistical Description of Electromagnetic Wavefronts for Extreme Near-field Micromanipulations

Faculty Sponsor: Tsampikos Kottos Live Poster Session: Zoom Link Abstract: We design a wavefront shaping protocol which maximizes the electromagnetic forces acting at a specific location in an arbitrary complex scattering medium. Our approach utilizes appropriate physical operators, that rely on the measured scattering matrix, whose eigenvectors can be used for the design of wavefronts … Read more

Using Unreal Engine to Find the Orientations of 3D Objects

Faculty Sponsor: Greg Voth Abstract: In a fluid mechanics lab, it is often the case that a particle’s movement through fluid must be studied in minute detail. Our lab records videos of 3D-printed particles moving in a high-volume tank of water with four high-speed cameras, and we aim to examine their motion by determining the … Read more
