Seminar: Marine Technology and Ocean Systems Engineering A Design Approach enhanced by AI & ML
HIG210Dr. Nikolas Xiros Goldman Endowed Prof. Naval Architecture & Marine Engineering, University of New Orleans Dr. Xiros is a candidate for an open HNEI/ORE faculty position in Marine Energy Engineering *In-person (HIG210) & via Zoom* Zoom Meeting Link Meeting ID: 235 549 0320 Passcode: ORE Abstract A holistic systems engineering approach has been employed over a period of more than 25 years to predict and improve performance and reliability in ship design, watercraft development and ocean engineering applications. The approach combines traditional approaches of process modeling and simulation, system identification, dynamics and control with concepts of probabilistic system analysis and
Seminar: Advancing Miniature Soft Robotics Towards Complex Fluidic Environments
Biomedical Sciences Building T208 1960 East-West Rd, HonoluluDr. Tianlu Wang Assistant Professor of Mechanical Engineering UHM *In-person (BIOMD T208) & via Zoom* Zoom Meeting Link Meeting ID: 235 549 0320 Passcode: ORE Soft robotics represents a rapidly advancing field in which machines are constructed from flexible, compliant materials and structures that allow safer, more adaptive interactions with living systems and the environment. In this seminar, I will present our recent progress in the design, fabrication, modeling, and control of small-scale bio-inspired soft robots, drawing inspiration from animals including larval fish, jellyfish, and inchworms. These advances enable novel modes of locomotion and functions in fluidic environments that are
Seminar: Simulation & Modeling in the Marine Industry: Defense Contractor & Climate Tech Startup
Watanabe 112 2505 Correa Rd, HonoluluBradley Beeksma CFD Engineer, Stealth Renewable Energy Startup ORE Alumnus Location Information **This seminar will be held both in person (Watanabe Hall 112) and over Zoom** Meeting ID: 961 6222 2366 Passcode: OREseminar https://hawaii.zoom.us/j/96162222366 Physics-based simulations and modeling tools are foundational for designing novel systems in the marine industry. These increasingly powerful tools allow for quicker design iterations, material cost savings, and improved engineering confidence, particularly at large design scales. In this talk, I’ll discuss my experience working at a US defense contractor, primarily using fluid-structure interaction modeling of inflatable structures in the ocean. I’ll also discuss my current
