Jasmine Michelle Cox
Ph.D. Student in Electrical Engineering, admitted Autumn 2020
BioJasmine Cox is a PhD candidate in Electrical Engineering. She received her B.S. in Electrical Engineering with a minor in Applied Mathematics from Boise State University in 2020. During her undergraduate academic career, Jasmine was a Ronald E. McNair Scholar and a member of the Advanced Nanomaterials and Manufacturing Laboratory focusing on additive manufacturing of flexible hybrid electronics. Her current research as a member of Prof. Debbie G. Senesky’s group, EXtreme Environment Microsystems Lab (XLab), explores the synthesis, fabrication, and characterization of devices and materials in extreme environments that can be found in space.

Ph.D. Student in Energy Resources Engineering, admitted Autumn 2022
Current Research and Scholarly InterestsMy current research revolves around optimizing the monitoring design of Carbon Capture and Sequestration (CCS) projects in such a way that the posterior (after data assimilation) predictions are as close to reality as can be hoped for.
In CCS projects within the U.S., it is important to have monitoring plan, which can consist of wells with pressure, saturation, salinity, et cetera sensors, seismic lines, or gravimetric above-ground measurements, before any injection has begun into the subsurface. This is due to the permitting requirements that must be satisfied before operations are begun.
Due to this constraint, any monitoring optimization (at least initially) needs to be determined using only a prior (highly uncertain) understanding of the subsurface. This makes the optimization much more challenging. We utilize a prior optimization scheme from a previous student which allows us to optimize a monitoring plan using only prior information to get the minimized, expected uncertainty reduction in the posterior models for a given quantity of interest. This scheme is limited by some Gaussian assumptions. We optimize it using a genetic algorithm.
From this point, with the monitoring plan established, the information gathered from the optimized monitoring scheme (using only monitoring wells at the moment) is used to history match (data assimilate) our understanding of the subsurface. The results can be used to predict the CO2 plume flow and behavior into the future.
This work was initially developed to assist a project in Illinois that is currently seeking Class VI injection well permits in the self-same state in order to begin injecting CO2 produced from two companies paying for the work from the Illinois Geological Survey. -
Adam Ctverak
Masters Student in Aeronautics and Astronautics, admitted Autumn 2024
BioAdam is a Master's student in Aeronautics & Astronautics specializing in strategic technology and hypersonic missile defense. As a Defense Innovation Unit Summer Fellow, he co-leads the development of a High Altitude Infrared Search and Track (HAIRST) platform designed to defend key regional assets against hypersonic threats. The project secured DoD support and successfully conducted multiple flight tests. Previously, under a NASA SBIR contract, Adam developed new experimental methods to sinter lunar regolith, producing bricks intended for lunar landing pads. He is a passionate skier and certified scuba diver.

Caden Davis
Masters Student in Electrical Engineering, admitted Autumn 2025
Current Research and Scholarly InterestsPreviously, I developed a platform for joint communications and sensing (JCAS) with mmWave beamforming systems as part of the UCLA Wireless Lab under Professor Ian Roberts. Then, as a DSP engineer intern at Anduril, I worked to enhance detectors for frequency-hopping OFDM and chirp-spread-spectrum signals. From these experiences, I found a strong interest in optimization methods and statistical inference techniques for signal processing systems, mainly wireless communications and radar.
