Aircraft Accident Investigation AAI 24-3Fri, Mar 01, 2024 @ 08:00 AM - 04:00 PM
Aviation Safety and Security Program
University Calendar
The course is designed for individuals who have limited investigation experience. All aspects of the investigation process are addressed, starting with preparation for the investigation through writing the final report. It covers National Transportation Safety Board and International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) procedures. Investigative techniques are examined with an emphasis on fixed-wing investigation. Data collection, wreckage reconstruction, and cause analysis are discussed in the classroom and applied in the lab. The USC Aircraft Accident Investigation lab serves as the location for practical exercises. Thirteen aircraft wreckages form the basis of these investigative exercises. The crash laboratory gives the student an opportunity to learn the observation and documentation skills required of accident investigators. The wreckage is examined and reviewed with investigators who have extensive actual real-world investigation experience. Examination techniques and methods are demonstrated along with participative group discussions of actual wreckage examination, reviews of witness interview information, and investigation group personal dynamics discussions.

Talk Title: Soft Electronics for Ubiquitous Physiological Monitoring
Abstract: While great advances in medicine has been made in the past century, the overall infrastructure of the healthcare system has not progressed. Patients are still expected to travel to a centralized location for discrete, reactionary based care where the healthcare provider only has a brief window to assess the patient’s health. Unless the symptoms are overt at the time of examination, the subjective evaluation relies heavily on the self-reporting of symptoms from the patient. This often results in delayed or improper diagnoses. In contrast, we know that physiological signals precede clinical deterioration. We have developed a suite of soft, low-cost, unobtrusive, Band-Aid © like physiological sensors to continuously monitor patients cardiovascular and pulmonary functions. We seek to continuously quantify subtle physiological changes to predict – and eventually prevent -- the onset of acute clinical events.

Talk Title: How to Store Information Indefinitely using Ions
Series: Semiconductors & Microelectronics Technology
Abstract: Ion-based memory devices including resistive memory and electrochemical memory present promising opportunities for embedded nonvolatile memory, in-memory computing, and neuromorphic computing. Such devices switch resistance states through the electrochemical migration of oxygen vacancies in transition metal oxides. In this talk, we present our recent research on the materials thermodynamics principles that govern ion motion in oxygen-based resistive memory. Using a combination of device measurements, materials characterization, and multiscale physical modeling, we find that oxygen vacancies do not obey Fick's First Law of diffusion as conventionally believed, but instead undergo composition phase separation, which enables diffusion against the concentration gradient. This phase separation is critical to the ability of resistive memory to retain information for long, and potentially indefinite, periods of time. Finally, we utilize this understanding of phase separation in transition metal oxides to engineer exceptionally long retention times in three-terminal electrochemical memory.
Biography: Yiyang Li is an Assistant Professor of Materials Science and Engineering at the University of Michigan, where he conducts research on ionic memory and energy storage. Trained as an electrochemist, he received his PhD at Stanford University in 2016, and was appointed a Harry Truman Fellow at Sandia National Labs. Yiyang received the Intel Rising Star Faculty Award in 2022.
