Shaping and understanding Cu(In,Ga)Se2 solar cells: from nanometers to GigaWatts

ABSTRACT The transition to a clean energy system is required to combat climate change. The direct conversion of solar energy into electricity through photovoltaics (PV) is an essential pillar in a clean energy system. While the market is dominated by crystalline silicon PV, thin-film PV provides advantages for specific applications, e.g. in building-integrated PV (BIPV). …

Performance Optimization of Switched Linear Systems: Constructive Design with Applications

ABSTRACT Switched linear systems are simplest hybrid dynamical systems with powerful modelling/control capabilities. In this talk, we introduce the path-wise state-feedback switching approach, and the extended methods for improving the asymptotic/transient performance of switched systems. Theoretical/practical applications to safety-critical optimization and MEMS micromirror will also be briefly discussed. BIO Zhendong Sun obtained the BS degree …

Towards Automation in Robotic Surgery

ABSTRACT Robots have been widely used to help surgeons in various surgical procedures. Existing surgical robots are controlled by surgeons via interfaces. Human control may cause concerns like surgeon-dependent performance/quality, safety risk due to fatigue, etc. Introducing automation in robotic surgery could reduce the workload of the surgeons and maintain consistence in surgical procedures. In …
