IIE Region 7 University Conference
Fri, Mar 04, 2005
Daniel J. Epstein Department of Industrial and Systems Engineering
Student Activity
The 2005 conference theme is Emerging Applications of Industrial Engineering, which emphasizes the evolving nature of the industrial engineering profession. Professional attendees can select from one of three hands-on tracks convering Lean manufacturing. Student attendees can select from three tracks: Breakthrough Thinking, Engineering Management, and another to be determined. Interactive workshops, a technical paper competition, exciting tours and fun social events will provide a unique experience for students, faculty, and professional IEs from Arizona, California, Colorado and New Mexico.

Sensor for Power, Energy, Environment and Engineering
Fri, Mar 04, 2005 @ 01:00 PM - 02:00 PM
Sonny Astani Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering
Conferences, Lectures, & Seminars
Dr. Sheng Wu
PEER CALTECH
Pasadena, CAAbstract:
We present the research and development on sensors for Power, Energy, Environment and Engineering that we are carrying out at PEER Caltech.These sensors are based on light-matter elastic (Mie scattering, Optical Coherence Tomography/OCT) and inelastic (absorption, RAMAN, Laser Induced Fluorescence/LIF) interactions, and on gas adsorption/desorption processes. Major projects include multiwavelength laser scattering and FM LIDAR for CO2 and other gases, high power tunable lasers and drift-free carbon polymer sensors based on MEMS technology. Sensors and techniques developed are applied to gas/petroleum transportation and refinery, biological science and engineering.For light scattering, we will present the advantages for multi-wavelengths light scattering scheme, including light scattering principles, current particulate matters (PM) measuring instruments and multi-wavelengths scattering. We will discuss the importance of PM in air pollution control and atmospheric chemistry.For FM (frequency modulation) LIDAR, we will present a cost effective way to monitor ambient CO2 concentration changes over a several square kilometers and the application in carbon sequestration. We will start with the principles of FM absorption spectroscopy and LIDAR over long ranges and end will discussion on other applications of such FM LIDAR technique, including gas pipe safety and other toxic gas emissions.For drift-free carbon polymer sensors, we will talk about the principles of such adsorption sensors, problems and solutions to improve the performances of such sensors. We will discuss the possible applications of such sensors for petroleum transportation and refineries.Location: Kaprielian Hall (KAP) - 156

Engineered Hybrid Nanostructures: Assembly, Structure, and Properties

THE DEPARTMENT OF MATERIALS SCIENCE & ENGINEERING
PRESENTS A SEMINARbyDr. Atul KonkarNanostructure Materials & Devices Laboratory
Department of Materials Science & Engineering
University of Southern CaliforniaABSTRACTExploiting the full potential and promise of nanoscale structures useful for sensing the environment (radiation, chemical, biochemical, biological) requires their integration with semiconductor devices that efficiently amplify and process the sensed information. We have pioneered the synthesis, and structural and optical examination, of hybrid structures involving the integration of colloidal nanocrystal quantum dots (NCQDs) with epitaxically synthesized semiconductor nanostructures (such as quantum wells, wires, and dots). In this talk I shall present some results of our findings so far. Some new surface template based approaches, including array of engineered proteins, for the directed-assembly of NCQDs, and electron microscopy approaches developed for study of such hybrid systems will be discussed.
