Join MathWorks and the Advanced Virtual Engineering Laboratory at NIAR-WSU for a technical MATLAB and Simulink seminar for faculty, students, researchers and staff, co-presented by Dr. Gerardo Olivares and MathWorks engineers, at 9 a.m. Tuesday, March 28 in the NetApp building.

• Application of MATLAB and Simulink for digital engineering and digital twin aerospace applications: This technical talk highlights the use of MATLAB and Simulink in digital engineering and digital twin activities to simulate aerospace systems.
• Introduction to data analysis and machine learning with MATLAB: In this session, MathWorks engineers will show participants how MATLAB can be used to visualize and analyze complex data, perform numeric computations, and develop algorithms in the areas of data analytics and machine learning.

Admission is free, but seats are limited.

The Department of Aerospace Engineering within the College of Engineering will host Dr. Nadia Kianvashrad, a post-doctoral associate from Rutgers, the State University of New Jersey, from 10:15 to 11 a.m. Friday, March 24 in 209 Wallace Hall.

Students, staff, faculty and industry partners are invited to attend Kianvashrad’s talk, “Prediction of Aerothermodynamic Loading and Flight Control Using Energy.”

Join Erik Pierstorff, program director in the Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) program for the National Science Foundation (NSF), will describe the SBIR and Small Business Technology Transfer (STTR) programs at NSF. He will also cover the SBIR/STTR program’s goals, funding philosophy, topics, funded examples and the project pitch process.

This webinar is a special opportunity for the region to connect with a program officer and ask direct questions about the SBIR/STTR programs. It will begin at 1 p.m. Tuesday, March 28.

There will be 10 minute, one-on-one meetings from 2 to 3 p.m. for additional discussion with Pierstorff. This webinar does not cost to attend, but registration is required.
