Assessing the impact of anthropogenic pollution on isoprene-derived secondary organic aerosol formation in PM2.5 collected from the Birmingham, Alabama, ground site during the 2013...
Published 2017“…In the southeastern US, substantial emissions of isoprene from deciduous trees undergo atmospheric oxidation to form secondary organic aerosol (SOA) that contributes to fine particulate matter (PM2.5). Laboratory studies have revealed that anthropogenic pollutants, such as sulfur dioxide (SO2), oxides of nitrogen (NOx), and aerosol acidity, can enhance SOA formation from the hydroxyl radical (OH)-initiated oxidation of isoprene; however, the mechanisms by which specific pollutants enhance isoprene SOA in ambient PM2.5 remain unclear. …”

Geobarrier system for use in underground structure
Published 2018“…A GBS is a man-made three-layer cover system designed as a vegetative layer combined with a two-layer unsaturated system which harnesses the distinct difference in unsaturated hydraulic properties between a fine-grained layer and a coarse-grained layer. GBS consists of recycled materials and does not use steel nor concrete and is hence more cost effective, thereby making it economical for use in high rise building. …”

Towards haptic intelligence in robots by learning from demonstration
Published 2022“…In the first part of this thesis, we build on this latter idea of performing haptic exploration of surfaces with a focus on extracting the geometry of fine features. We propose a novel quantity, haptic mismatch that identifies and refines missing geometric features based on the discrepancy in force feedback from actual interactions with an object. …”
