Intelligent Automation of PAUT for Quantitative Defect Characterization and Evaluation

This project focuses on developing an automated decision making system for Phased Array Ultrasonic Testing (PAUT). Our goal is to reduce the industry’s reliance on manual defect evaluation. PAUT is standard in aerospace, nuclear, and manufacturing sectors for checking safety critical components. However, current practices depend heavily on a technician’s experience to interpret complex scan […]

Perception-Guided Planning for Long-Horizon Sequential Manipulation

The project explores how to enable robots to perform multi-step tasks in realistic, changing environments by integrating visual information in different aspects of planning. Instead of assuming a perfect internal map of all objects, we will use camera input both to understand the scene and to guide the robot’s decisions during planning and execution. Demonstrations […]

AI Agent–Driven Digital Twin Framework for Intelligent Simulation and Optimization of Demand Responsive Transit (DRT) Systems

This project aims to develop an optimal Agentic AI Framework for next-generation intelligent mobility systems. Rather than focusing on a single algorithm or application, the research seeks to establish a generalizable architecture that integrates advanced optimization methods with graph-based large language model orchestration. Demand-Responsive Transit (DRT) serves as the primary testbed due to its inherent […]

Machine Learning-Based PV and Load Forecasting for Power System Optimization: Using real data in Cambodia with IEEE 9-Bus Validation

The growing number of renewable energy sources in Cambodia, such as solar farms, makes it more difficult to schedule power system operations to satisfy demand and save operating costs. Forecasting is one way to manage energy. An excessively high prediction accuracy indicates that managing the spatial energy in Economic Dispatch (ED) and Optimal Power Flow […]

Novel techniques to refactor software systems using reinforcement learning

Refactoring is an important software development activity that employs various techniques to enhance the structure and quality of source code without altering its functionality. Over the last two decades, researchers in the field have proposed several tools and techniques to enable automated refactoring. Despite a plethora of literature, though some steps can be automated, overall […]

Neural Oscillations During Sleep: Mathematical Modeling and Data Analysis

When we sleep, the brain produces rhythmic patterns of activity that help us learn, remember, and maintain healthy function. Some of these patterns travel across the brain like waves. Scientists believe these traveling waves are important for how the brain processes information, but we still do not fully understand how they form or what they […]

Not All Backports Are Equal: Analyzing the Risk/Value Trade-offs in Backport Acceptance Decisions

Ensuring the long-term stability and security of widely-used software is a critical operational challenge. A key part of this is “backporting,” the high-stakes process of deciding which updates to apply to stable product versions. Currently, developers often make these crucial risk-versus-value judgments without formal, data-driven guidance. This project will develop an intelligent decision-support framework to […]

Define–Assess–Learn: Development of an AI Chatbot and Pilot Evaluation of Its Effects on Student Learning

This project will develop and pilot-test a dual-function Generative AI chatbot to support student learning in an undergraduate course. The system will integrate: (1) a definition-retrieval component that provides course-aligned explanations drawn from the textbook, lecture slides, and instructor-approved materials, and (2) an assessment component that evaluates students’ written explanations of key concepts by comparing […]

ML surrogates for location problems

Electric vehicle charging infrastructure has become a central component of transportation planning as adoption of electric vehicles accelerates worldwide. Modern research models how drivers choose a station using discrete choice models, especially multinomial logit, which capture realistic preferences such as distance, queues, and charging speed. These models are computationally expensive, making large-scale location planning challenging. […]
