Today's advanced engineering tools and multidisciplinary projects make engineering research more vital than ever. At the University of Wisconsin-Madison College of Engineering, our talented faculty excel in many areas, including emerging interdisciplinary fields such as biomedical engineering, energy research, nanotechnology and atomic-level engineering. The college's consortia and partnerships with more than 200 industrial and governent partners help support and share its research and technology. Our students — tomorrow's leaders — learn in a world-class environment so that they can not only live in that changing world, but they create and shape those changes as well. On campus, students can exercise their creativity and entrepreneurship in both coursework and through extracurricular opportunities such as design competitions and hands-on experience creating new technology-based businesses.

BIOLOGICAL FUNNELING OF AROMATIC PHENOLICS FROM TRANSGENIC PLANTS
(2022-05)ABSTRACT Lignocellulosic biomass is an abundant renewable resource primarily formed by cellulose, hemicellulose, and lignin. The economic and environmental sustainability of biomass biorefineries is dependent on valorizing ... -
High-speed, 3D volumetric displacement and strain mapping in soft materials using Light Field Microscopy
(2022-04-14)Background: High strain-rate deformations of soft materials occur in many applications, and thus measurements of at-rate volumetric deformations are needed to understand physical processes relevant to, for example, hydrogel ... -
SerialTrack: ScalE and Rotation Invariant Augmented Lagrangian Particle Tracking
(2022-03-03)We present a new particle tracking algorithm to accurately resolve large deformation and rotational motion fields, which takes advantage of both local and global particle tracking algorithms. We call this method the ScalE ... -
Reaching a Consensus Among Construction Stakeholders: Defining Success and Benchmarking Performance
(2021-12)Executive Summary Despite significant and increasing figures for expenditure and employment which are demonstrative of a successful and growing economic sector, construction still has an industrial struggle with the precise ... -
Time-Lapse Geophysics and Characterization of an Infiltration Experiment in Unsaturated Wisconsin Alluvial Sediments
(2021-08)This thesis discusses the use of field geophysics, laboratory testing, and numerical modeling to characterize the infiltration mechanisms of a plume in the vadose zone. The study of fluid flow and transport in the vadose ... -
PARTICULATE ORGANIC MATTER TRANSPORT IN EXPERIMENTAL RIVERBED SAND COLUMNS
(2021-08)Abstract The hyporheic zone is a hot spot for coupled transport and biogeochemical reactions at the aquatic-terrestrial interface. The influx of particulate organic matter (POM), a biological colloid, into the near-surface ... -
OPTIMIZATION OF ENERGY AND WATER QUALITY COSTS FOR DRINKING WATER UTILITIES
(2021-08)INTRODUCTION A drinking water utility operates with the primary goal to provide safe, aesthetically pleasing water to its customers while meeting demand at a reduced cost. In doing so, the water utility considers the ... -
Development and application of statistical seasonal forecasts for reservoir optimization in the Tekezé Basin, Ethiopia
(2021-08)The Tekezé Reservoir in northern Ethiopia is a crucial resource for hydropower generation regionally and nationally, with electricity demand expected to increase in the coming decades. However, achieving reliable power ... -
Stochastic Calibration of Automated Vehicle Car-following Control: An Approximate Bayesian Computation Approach
(2021-08)This research presents a stochastic calibration method based on Approximate Bayesian Computation (ABC) to calibrate the parameters of two well-known adaptive cruise control (ACC) models: the linear controller and Model ... -
Lithology and fault related stress variations along the TCDP borehole: the stress state before and after the Chi-Chi earthquake.
(2021)Understanding the stress state before and after an earthquake is essential to study how stress on faults evolve during the seismic cycle. This study integrates wellbore failure analysis, laboratory experiments, and edge ... -
CONVEX HULL ESCAPE PERTURBATION AT EMBEDDING SPACE AND SPHERICAL BINS COLORING FOR 3D FACE DE-IDENTIFICATION
(2021)This paper proposes a Convex Hull Escape Perturbation (CHEP) method at Embedding Space to achieve 3D Face De-identification. For better reconstruction of the 3D faces, this paper also proposes the Spherical Bins Coloring ... -
