Lars Thorben Neustock
Ph.D. Student in Electrical Engineering, admitted Autumn 2015
Current Research and Scholarly InterestsLars's research interest lies at the intersection of optimization, applied physics and numerical methods. He is interested in understanding how we can use modern numerical methods and optimization techniques to improve physical devices in photon and charged particle optics. Hereby, the shape and topology of a device oftentimes plays a crucial role in its behavior. Lars is building computational models, including the application of adjoint design sensitivity analysis, to improve device shapes.

Rad Niazadeh
Postdoctoral Research Fellow, Computer Science
Current Research and Scholarly InterestsMy current interests are in different areas of theoretical computer science and operations research, with a focus on “economics and computation”:
1-Algorithmic mechanism design,
2-Online algorithms and mechanisms,
3-Learning in mechanisms and markets,
4- Computational social choice.
Problems at the intersection of combinatorial optimization, game theory, machine learning and probability theory are of my general interest. -
Juan Carlos Niebles
Sr Research Engineer, Computer Science
Current Research and Scholarly InterestsThe goal of my research is to enable computers and robots to perceive the visual world by developing novel computer vision algorithms for automatic analysis of images and videos. We tackle fundamental open problems in computer vision research related to the visual recognition and understanding of human actions and activities, objects, scenes, and events. We also develop systems that solve practical world problems by introducing cutting-edge computer vision technologies into new domains.

William Nix
Lee Otterson Professor in the School of Engineering, Emeritus
BioI have been engaged in the study of mechanical properties of materials for nearly 50 years. My early work was on high temperature creep and fracture of metals, focusing on techniques for measuring internal back stresses in deforming metals and featuring the modeling of diffusional deformation and cavity growth processes. My students and I also studied high temperature dispersion strengthening mechanisms and described the effects of threshold stresses on these creep processes. Since the mid-1980's we have focused most of our attention on the mechanical properties of thin film materials used in microprocessors and related devices. We have developed many of the techniques that are now used to study of thin film mechanical properties, including nanoindentation, substrate curvature methods, bulge testing methods and the mechanical testing of micromachined (MEMS) structures. We are also known for our work on the mechanisms of strain relaxation in heteroepitaxial thin films and plastic deformation of thin metal films on substrates. In addition we have engaged in research on the growth, characterization and modeling of thin film microstructures, especially as they relate to the development of intrinsic stresses. Some of our recent work dealt with the mechanical properties of nanostructures and with strain gradients and size effects on the mechanical properties of crystalline materials. Our most recent work deals with the mechanical properties of lithiated nanostructures that are being considered for lithium-ion battery applications.
