Key plasma physics and real-time control elements needed for robustly stable operation of high fusion power discharges in ITER have been demonstrated in recent research worldwide. Recent analysis has identified the current density profile as the main drive ...
Two-dimensional (2D) flows can be controlled efficiently using spanwise "waviness," i.e., a control (e.g., wall blowing and suction or wall deformation) that is periodic in the spanwise direction. This study tackles the global linear stability of 2D flows ...
This paper presents the practical aspects and application of a novel data-driven, fixed-structure, robust control design method. Only the frequency response data of the system is needed for the design, and no parametric model is required. The method can be ...
Super-resolution fluorescence microscopy improves spatial resolution, but this comes at a loss of image throughput and presents unique challenges in identifying optimal acquisition parameters. Microscope automation routines can offset these drawbacks, but ...
The objective of this dissertation is to develop data-driven frequency-domain methods for designing robust controllers through the use of convex optimization algorithms. Many of today's industrial processes are becoming more complex, and modeling accurate ...
