Abstract: Abstract: Understanding clinical movement dysfunction and designing effective rehabilitation is challenging due to multiple concurrent structural tissue changes, injuries, or treatments, which obscure the effects of isolated changes on outcomes. Further, identifying individuals most at risk for poor outcome or reinjury may be challenging due to variability within the population. Because the primary drivers of poor outcomes are unclear, there is a lack of consistent guidelines for clinicians regarding treatment timing and highly variable functional outcomes following treatment.

Abstract: The release and absorption of energy is fundamental to all applications. Managing the ensuing heat flow involves selecting a material that possesses an appropriate thermal conductivity, either high or low. Obtaining such thermal conductivity in the face of other design requirements can be exceedingly difficult and often limits device performance. In this talk, I will focus on advances in materials with tailored thermal conductivity and enhanced understanding of the underlying transport behavior in such materials. First, I will show…

SEMINAR: Heat Transfer Studies for Gas Turbine Hot Gas Path Components
ABSTRACT: Gas turbine hot section components are being pushed to the limit with every increasing combustion firing temperatures and improved expectations of life and durability. Gas path components inside gas turbines see some of the harshest conditions including high pressure and temperatures. It is imperative that heat transfer plays a major role in the evaluation and survival of these components. An overview of the challenges in gas turbine heat transfer measurements and design of cooling systems will be discussed in…
