Global Positioning System (GPS) Software Defined Radios (SDRs) Research

Project Description Software Defined Radios are an ever increasing popular topic. The advent of low cost USB radio dongles such as the USRP and BladeRF as well as tools such as GNU radio have allowed for radio development to move into the software domain. GPS is a satellite-based navigation system...

Spacecraft Charging related Guidance and Control

Project Description Charged astrodynamics is an emerging field of research that deals with electrostatic forces in orbit that result from electrically charged spacecraft. The AVS lab is working on methods to either utilize these forces for active debris removal, or to find guidance and control laws that mitigate the perturbations...

Understanding the Mechanisms of Stochastic Resonance as a Countermeasure

Project Description Stochastic Resonance (SR) has been shown to be a useful way to enhance perceptual and cognitive performance; however, there are open ended questions to the underlying neural mechanisms that induce SR. We will use neuroimaging and statistical analysis to understand how SR influences neural behavior and how it...

Optical Transmission Line for a Plate Reader

Project Description We have shown that very weak RF and magnetic fields can both increase and decrease the growth rates of HT1080 fibrosarcoma cancer cells and bacteria. These experiments are coupled with measurements of the changes in reactive oxygen species, ROS and other signaling molecules. Currently the measurements of the...

Investigation of Honey Bee Behavior Mechanics

Project Description Western honey bee behavior and communication has been a subject of study for hundreds of years, yet much remains unknown about how they coordinate with each other to succeed as a colony without a central leader. In the Peleg lab, we investigate how they accomplish tasks such as...
