The Modeling, Instrumentation, Dynamic systems, and controlS (MIDAS) lab’s main purpose and research focus areas include investigation of:
- Monitoring, instrumentation, and sensors (e.g., development of advanced sensors and process monitoring).
- Process modeling and data analytics (e.g., physics-based and data-driven methods, such as machine learning-based models),
- Control systems (nonlinear, adaptive controls), and device development (e.g., components and mechanisms).
Key application areas include:
- Energy systems
- Electromechanical systems
- Manufacturing processes
- Devices
Senior personnel include: Dr. Michael Smith and Dr. Rodward Hewlin, Jr.
