Modeling, Instrumentation, Dynamic systems, and controlS (MIDAS) Lab

The Modeling, Instrumentation, Dynamic systems, and controlS (MIDAS) lab’s main purpose and research focus areas include investigation of:

  1. Monitoring, instrumentation, and sensors (e.g., development of advanced sensors and process monitoring).
  2. Process modeling and data analytics (e.g., physics-based and data-driven methods, such as machine learning-based models),
  3. 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.
