Flight planning: senior design team wants to widen the user base for drone usage

by Eric Horvath
March 17
One of the feats behind aerial photography—particularly drone photography—is the balance needed from both skills to capture a beautiful shot. In other words, half the trick of getting the shot is the piloting necessary to get to the shot. One senior design team, advised by Prof. Li Bai and Prof. Brian Thomson, is working on a solution to help lessen the burden on drone flight to help photographers chart a path for their drone ahead of time. Less pilot, more plotting, according to the team: Miguel Acosta Del Vecchio, Ahmed Hamza Alhusseini, Zenon Matychak and Paul...

Temple Ambler Library: a future of innovation

by James F. Duffy
January 13
The Temple University Ambler Library Building didn't escape the wrath of the EF2 tornado that ravaged campus on September 1, 2021. Ferocious winds and debris tore holes in the building's roof and blew out most of the large windows, threatening the collection of 130,000 books, periodicals, research material and historical archives inside."Our first concern was the care of the materials. That was paramount in our thinking — how to save what we had because we knew there was major damage to a number of books," said Sandi Thompson, Head of the Ambler Campus Library. "We...

Opinion l Infrastructure bill helps put Philadelphia on solid ground.

by Ahmed Faheem & Xiaonan Lu
November 23
Now that President Biden has signed the $1 trillion dollar infrastructure package into law, much of the news coverage has been on the perceived enormity of the investment. While $1 trillion is substantial, continuing to ignore our infrastructure comes at a far greater cost. A report published earlier this year by the American Society of Civil Engineers estimated that our nation's aging infrastructure, coupled with continued disinvestment, would cause "the loss of $10 trillion in GDP and lead to a decline of more than $23 trillion in business productivity cumulatively over the...

Creating a cough to study pathogen transmission 

by Eric Horvath
November 17
Autumn is the season of the nagging cough. That stubborn tickle in the back of your throat that is often the sign of an incoming cold or flu. Then why on Earth would anyone want to create a cough simulator? One senior design team hopes to create one such device to help reproduce the human cough, focusing on pathogen transmission from patients to healthcare workers through droplet exposure—an issue that has become acutely more important in the age of COVID-19. "We hope to improve the efficacy of personal protective equipment (PPE) and provide a system that can be useful...

Shifting the solar paradigm

by Eric Horvath
August 13
How one researcher's solar research seeks to support the power grid.To some, the phrase solar power is an oxymoron at worst or a big ask, at best. How can science expect to harness sunlight to become a key player in the global sustainability matrix, nudging past non-renewable energy sources such as fossil fuels? Sometimes, engineering can be aided by a sense of service with a healthy dash of audacity. Maybe that is necessary.When speaking with Dr. Xiaonan Lu and his student and postdoc researchers in his Advanced Power Electronics (APECS) group, the sense of purpose is...
