An EQ-4B Global Hawk, one of the United States’ most advanced and expensive unmanned aerial vehicles, lost stability and crashed in 2011 because a single screw loosened. In 2016, a Union Pacific train derailed in Mosier, Oregon due to a single loose bolt. It released 42,000 gallons of crude oil into the local environment. These two events (and many others) highlight our lack of knowledge pertaining to the long-term evolution of nonlinearities and their effect on the structure’s health and dynamics.

I will present the recent advancements in the field of digital inline holography (DIH) and its applications in fluid mechanics research. With the innovation in the hardware designs and computational algorithms, DIH has emerged as a compact, low-cost, and highly efficient tool for 3D flow analysis. I will demonstrate the versatility of DIH by presenting its applications in various types of flows, including microfluidics, turbulence, multiphase flows, and high-speed flows.
The use of sound has a long history in medicine. Dating back to 350 BC, the ancient Greek physician Hippocrates, regarded as “the father of medicine,” devised a diagnostic method for detecting fluid in the lungs by shaking patients by their shoulders and listening to the resulting sounds emanating from their chest. As acoustic technology has advanced, so too has our ability to “listen” to the body and better understand underlying pathologies.

Diffusion processes refer to a class of stochastic processes driven by Brownian motion. They have been widely used in various applications, ranging from engineering to science to finance. In this talk, I will discuss my experiences with diffusion and how this powerful tool has shaped our research programs.
