Chelsea Onyeador
Chelsea is a PhD student in aeronautics and astronautics. Her research centers on the simulation on similar and non-similar hypersonic boundary layers with temperature-varying properties.She uses MATLAB to efficiently and robustly model the evolution of hypersonic boundary layers, develop heuristics for the impact of various flow conditions such as free stream Mach number, free stream enthalpy, and surface boundary conditions (temperature or heat transfer distribution) on the behaviors of hyp ...
Max Olender
Max is a postdoctoral associate at MIT’s Institute of Medical Engineering Science and a member of the Edelman Lab(Harvard-MIT Biomedical Engineering Center). His research is focused on advancing computational models representing diseased coronary arteries to accurately reflect the specific biomechanics of a given patient. Models of coronary arteries have previously been developed, but lack the detailed input data necessary to robustly characterize and represent the systems and to confidentl ...

She has constructed a novel kinetic model, written entirely with MATLAB code, for the manufacturing of the most important class of gene therapy products via triple transfection of mammalian cells. She has designed optimal model-based experiments necessary ...
Jerry Ng
Jerry is a PhD student in mechanical engineering whose research focuses on system dynamics and applications control in robotics. In particular, he focuses on lifting linearization techniques for nonlinear dynamical systems to be used for realtime, model predictive control. He has used MATLAB to run simulations and experiment with configurations. Jerry has also served as a TA for the subject Introduction to Robotics, taking MATLAB packages and toolboxes that he uses in his own research and tra ...
Catherine Medlock
Catherine is a PhD student in electrical engineering and computer science. Her research lies at the intersection of classical signal processing and quantum physics. Being theoretical in nature, her research requires the use of MATLAB tools for simulation and theoretical experimentation, varying parameters and other aspects of a theory to gain insight into the theoretical results. For example, she and her collaborators produced code that takes a non-optimal ROC curve and generates the optimal ...
Trevor Long
Trevor is a master’s student in aeronautics and astronautics working on the development of Super-STOL concept for an Urban Air Mobility mission. His specific task is working on the experimental investigation into blown-lift airfoil performance in a new 2′ x 3′ wind tunnel. To perform these tests effectively, he is developing and testing modules for an experiment-driver and data acquisition system based on MATLAB. This system will enable the department to use the new wind tunnel ...
Miles Lifson
Miles is a PhD student in aeronautics and astronautics focusing on space traffic management, space situational awareness, and space sustainability. His research draws on a variety of methods and disciplines to ensure that we, and those who come after us, will be able to continue to enjoy benefits derived from space. His PhD research centers on the development of al ow Earth orbit slotting system using flower constellation theory to coordinate between large numbers of satellites controlled by ...
Wei Liao
Wei is a PhD student in electrical engineering and computer science who uses microfluidic technology to study an important but often neglected player of neurodegenerative disease, the blood-brain-barrier (BBB). She uses engineered microfluidic tissue culture devices to recapitulate the BBB microarchitecture in vivo with an approach normally called organ-on-a-chip (OOC). OOC platforms are microfluidic cell culture chips that simulate the activities, mechanics and physiological respons ...
Eric Lehnhardt
Eric is a PhD student in biological engineering where he focuses on the bio-directed synthesis and assembly of advanced materials for the direct air capture of carbon dioxide and its conversion to products with a goal of off-setting the net addition of carbon dioxide to the atmosphere. He uses MATLAB to monitor flow data to better understand the fraction of carbon dioxide converted into products, and a custom MATLAB script to calculate and visualize the products generated using the materials ...
