PhD Proposal Defense - Ian Bales

A Doctor of Philosophy Proposal Defense Entitled:  Cable-Driven Exoskeletons to Enhance Head-Neck Mobility By: Ian Bales   Thursday, September 4th, 2025 3:30 PM MEK 3350   Committee Members:  Dr. Haohan Zhang (Chair) Dr. Jake Abbott Dr. Mark Bromberg Dr. Daniel Brown Dr. Tommaso Lenzi   Project Summary  Various neuromuscular diseases can impair head-neck movement, leading to a reduced quality of life. The current standard of care is to use static neck collars to hold the head in a neutral upright position, but this solution is uncomfortable, restrictive, and fails to restore natural motion. Existing robotic neck exoskeletons restore motion but use rigid links that constrain movement and cause discomfort. A cable-driven exoskeleton could overcome these limitations by providing lightweight, comfortable, and unconstrained assistance, with actuators placed away from the neck for improved usability. However, such a device has not yet been developed, and key challenges remain in design, safety, and validation. This… Campus Wide Event: Yes. Thursday, September 4, 2025, 3:30 PM – 4:30 PM.

PhD Proposal Defense - Laura Vietz

DEPARTMENT OF MECHANICAL ENGINEERING UNIVERSITY OF UTAH A Doctor of Philosophy Research Proposal Defense:   Scaling ductility from microscale to bulk by coupling crystal plasticity simulations with deep learning and uncertainty quantification   By: Laura Vietz   Tuesday, September 9th, 2025 Time: 10:00 AM   Committee Members: Dr. Ashley Spear (Chair) Dr. Jacob Hochhalter Dr. Owen Kingstedt Dr. Ana Marasović Dr. Miroslav Zecevic     Project Summary Characterizing mechanical properties, specifically ductility, in bulk materials can be challenging and cost-prohibitive for certain types of materials or off-nominal operating environments (e.g. materials in extreme temperatures or under irradiation). In such cases, experimental characterization is limited to small-scale testing, which includes sample sizes well below that of the representative volume element (RVE). The RVE is the smallest volume of material above which a property of interest converges to that of the bulk material. Sub-RVE sizes, volumes smaller th… Campus Wide Event: Yes.
