The SGERL lab focuses on developing future power and energy systems. The research
areas include renewable energy integration, rural power grid development, demand-side
management, smart meter data analysis, and electric arc protection. The mission is
to develop a safe, smart, and sustainable (SSS) power and energy system for the future.
The MLIS lab conducts research at the forefront of machine learning for multi-modal
spatiotemporal data. In particular, our research investigates advanced algorithms
for: fusing multi-modal data along different spatiotemporal time-scales; dimensionality
reduction, and pattern classification of multi-modal data; understanding multi-modal
relationships for graph representation learning; predicting future events through
multi-modal forecasting methods; exploring data augmentation and graph expansion from
multi-modal graph embeddings.
The lab is equipped with 3D printers, software-defined radios (SDRs), vector network
analyzers (VNAs, up to 67 GHz), and a walkable anechoic chamber with a dimension of
W = 11’, H = 9’6”, and L = 21’.
The research focuses on developing microwave sensing and direction-finding systems for civil and military applications, which can be applied to infrastructure inspections, rescue missions, electronic support, and electronic warfare.
