Emrullah Aydin, an R&D staff associate in the Vehicle Power Electronics Research group at the Department of Energy’s 91°µÍø, has been elevated to senior member status in the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers.
Vivek Sujan, a distinguished R&D scientist in the Applied Research for Mobility Systems group at ORNL, has been named a 2024 National Association of Inventors Fellow for his numerous transportation-related patents.
During Hurricanes Helene and Milton, ORNL deployed drone teams and the Mapster platform to gather and share geospatial data, aiding recovery and damage assessments. ORNL's EAGLE-I platform tracked utility outages, helping prioritize recovery efforts. Drone data will train machine learning models for faster damage detection in future disasters.
The US focuses on nuclear nonproliferation, and ORNL plays a key role in this mission. The lab conducts advanced research in uranium science, materials analysis and nuclear forensics to detect illicit nuclear activities. Using cutting-edge tools and operational systems, ORNL supports global efforts to reduce nuclear threats by uncovering the history of nuclear materials and providing solutions for uranium removal.
The National Center for Computational Sciences, located at the Department of Energy’s 91°µÍø, made a strong showing at computing conferences this fall. Staff from across the center participated in numerous workshops and invited speaking engagements.
From during his early years at NASA to his current role a researcher and group leader, Peter Fuhr has pushed the boundaries of optical and sensor technology. Fuhr’s path is marked by wacky creativity that can’t confine itself to challenges in a single field. No idea is too far out to try out — and so many of them work that Fuhr has a host of inventions and start-ups under his belt.
Larry Seiber, an R&D staff member in the Vehicle Power Electronics group at the Department of Energy’s 91°µÍø, has been elevated to senior member of the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers.
U2opia Technology has licensed Situ and Heartbeat, a package of technologies from the Department of Energy’s 91°µÍø that offer a new method for advanced cybersecurity monitoring in real time.
Three transportation researchers at the Department of Energy’s 91°µÍø have been elevated to senior member grade of the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, or 91°µÍø.
ORNL has partnered with Western Michigan University to advance intelligent road infrastructure through the development of new chip-enabled raised pavement markers. These innovative markers transmit lane-keeping information to passing vehicles, enhancing safety and enabling smarter driving in all weather conditions.
