The award is an international distinction given to scientists for their contributions in the fields of interest of IFAC under the form of technical publications, patents, control solutions, products, software, and leadership in research, development, and education.
An accurate mathematical model is proposed to describe an emerging desalination technology called direct contact membrane distillation system. The mathematical model is important for designing efficient control and monitoring strategies, a crucial step to facilitate the commercialization of this technology.
A new algorithm is proposed to estimate the average velocity, dispersion coefficient, and differentiation order of a space-fractional advection-dispersion equation used for modeling contaminant transport in porous media. This allows for the characterization of the medium and the determination of the contaminant source. The algorithm is efficient, robust and fast.
A novel approach to calibrate the hemodynamic model using functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging (fMRI) measurements.
Paola Crippa (presently at University of Newcastle, UK) is one of the winners of the highly contested 2015 L'oreal-UNESCO UK & Ireland For Women In Science Fellowships (FWIS) for the article "Modelling particulate matter pollution from vegetation fires in South-East Asia".
In contrast to conventional cellular networks, devices in wireless multihop networks have dual roles: while each device is a source of information it also acts as a router for its peers.
The CEMSE Division has recently welcomed a new Professor of Electrical Engineering, Dr. Jeff Shamma. Prof. Shamma joins from the Georgia Institute of Technology (Georgia Tech).
SIAM News published a piece on Professor Raul Tempone's Center for Uncertainty Quantification.
Prof. Basem Shihada and his previous research scientist Kamran Jamshaid obtained a US Patent for their technology on optimizing buffer sizing for multi-hop networks.
Mudassir Masood, a Ph.D. student in Electrical Engineering (EE) at the CEMSE division, received the best poster award at the International Conference on Communications, Signal Processing, and Their Applications (ICCSPA), held 11-14 February 2013 in Sharjah, UAE.
Dr. Basem Shihada and Dr. Sajid Ahmed have been elevated to the rank of Senior Member of IEEE. This is considered a significant honor since only 8% of nearly 400,000 IEEE members are Senior Members because of their superior professional achievements.
