I study the Solar System’s small-body populations, objects that are cosmic leftovers from the protoplanetesimal disk from which the Earth and the other planets formed. These populations range from near-Earth asteroids, to the main asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter, to more distant populations such as Jupiter and Neptune Trojans, Kuiper Belt objects, and beyond. ...

Efe Yamac Yarbasi

Dr. Yarbasi’s expertise lies in uncertainty quantification for complex systems, verification and validation (V&V) processes, robotics, energy systems modeling within smart building infrastructures, and systems engineering. Prior to joining U-M, he collaborated extensively with government and industry on a range of projects, including the development of a surgical endoscopy robot and the energy optimization of ...

David Kwabi

We study and develop electrochemical devices containing organic materials for applications in grid energy storage and chemical separations (e.g., CO2 capture and nitrogen recovery). A critical aspect of our work involves discerning the impact of chemical reactions as well as mass and charge transport processes on device-level performance metrics. To accomplish this goal, we often ...

Angela Violi
