At the dawn of the 1950’s, Tikhonov (USSR) and Cagniard (France) independently determined that by measuring the geoelectric and geomagnetic fields at ground level, one could reconstruct the variations of the electrical conductivity below ground level as a function of depth, the origin of the magnetotelluric (MT) method. While initially ...

Cortical Areas involved in motor control of the limbs: Plasticity within and across lifetimesForelimb morphology and use in mammals is extraordinarily diverse. Evolution has produced wings, flippers, hooves, paws and hands which are specialized for a variety of behaviors such as flying, swimming and grasping to name a few. While there is a wealth of data in human and non-human primates on the ...

The explosive growth of machine learning and data-driven methodologies has revolutionized numerous fields. Yet, translating these successes to dynamical physical systems remains a significant challenge, hindered by the complexity, uncertainty, and safety-critical nature of such environments. In this talk, we present a unified framework that bridges this gap by introducing ...
Decarbonizing the electricity sector is essential for mitigating climate change, but planning low-carbon power systems under uncertainty requires balancing tradeoffs among costs, climate impacts, and socio-environmental considerations. In this talk, I present findings from a study of low-carbon power system pathways in Southern Africa under uncertainties in technology costs, socio-environmental ...

Fighting Wildfires from the Sky: Toward Safer, Around-the-Clock Aerial OperationsAircraft have been supporting wildfire response for decades - dropping water and retardant, tracking fire movement, and helping protect communities. Yet most aerial firefighting today is still limited to daytime operations using crewed aircraft, with only limited capability in challenging conditions like heavy smoke or low visibility. This leaves critical ...
