There is now a CONTENT FREEZE for Mercury while we switch to a new platform. It began on Friday, March 10 at 6pm and will end on Wednesday, March 15 at noon. No new content can be created during this time, but all material in the system as of the beginning of the freeze will be migrated to the new platform, including users and groups. Functionally the new site is identical to the old one. webteam@gatech.edu

Title: Modeling and Control Methods for Adaptive Thermal and Energy Management for Bio-implants and Human-in-the-loop HVAC Operations
Committee:

Abstract: The objective of the proposed research is to investigate different modeling and control methods for thermal and energy management applications, such as implantable medical devices (IMDs) and heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) systems. For applications of IMDs, the main goal is to maximize power consumption while preventing tissue damage due to overheating. HVAC applications focus on saving energy while maintaining the occupants' thermal comfort. The proposed research aims to solve adaptive thermal and energy management problem for these applications using novel modeling and control algorithms.
