<Title>Yonder Cabinet Reception (Artist Talk &amp; Refreshments)</Title>
<Tagline>in the Innovation Lab</Tagline>
<Body>
<![CDATA[
    <div class="html-content">
    <div>The Alan and Wendy Wilson Innovation Lab is proud to welcome <em>The Yonder Cabinet</em> to the Albin O. Kuhn Library &amp; Gallery! Please join us for an artist talk and light refreshments on Thursday, November 14th between 11:00 AM - 12:00 PM in our makerspace, located on the first floor just past the main circulation desk. </div>
    <div><br></div>
    <div>
    <em><a href="https://theyondercabinet.com/" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">The Yonder Cabinet</a></em> is a collaborative installation project that combines the love of the written word, visual art, and fantastic places. Artists Kelley Bell and Melissa Penley Cormier originally conceived of The Yonder Cabinet as an exercise of the imagination in the midst of the COVID-19 epidemic. Much as the Cabinets of Wonder or wunderkammer from the 16th century collected and housed objects and specimens from far off places while telling stories of science and the natural world, The Yonder Cabinet began as an empty card catalog cabinet and took on new life as the artists filled two of the drawers with dioramas drawn from their favorite literature, enabling them to “travel” to these literary settings at at time of limited mobility.</div>
    <div><br></div>
    <div>The Innovation Lab will host workshops in the spring inviting members of the AOK community to make their own drawer dioramas. Details will appear here in the near future! In the meantime, we hope you will visit Kelley Bell and friends at the reception. </div>

    <p><strong>Why did you choose to major in INDS?</strong></p>
    <p>I chose INDS because it allows me to combine my interests in sociology, urban studies, and policy in a way that feels cohesive and focused. The program’s flexibility has been crucial in helping me explore these fields while addressing complex topics like mass incarceration, recidivism, and crime.</p>
    <p><strong>What are your plans for after graduation, and how do you see using your INDS degree?</strong></p>
    <p>After graduation, I plan to pursue a Fulbright grant to research recidivism and reentry among women in Norway or pursue my Master’s in criminology, where I can continue to focus on prison systems, recidivism, and reentry processes. The fields of recidivism and reentry are inherently interdisciplinary, often requiring a deep understanding of sociology, criminal justice, public policy, and geographical information systems (GIS), among other disciplines. Through my INDS degree, I’ve gained the skills and  to navigate these fields to address real-world issues.</p>

    <span><strong>Advisor</strong>: Dr. Ankit Goel</span><br><br><span><strong>Title</strong>:  Adaptive Control with Input and State Constraint: THEORY AND APPLICATIONS</span><br><br><span><strong>Abstract:</strong></span><br><span>Physical systems evolve as time progresses. A system’s temporal behavior depends on its internal characteristics and interactions with its surroundings. A control signal that affects the state of the system can be carefully designed to achieve the desired behavior of the system. However, this approach, called the open-loop control, requires a detailed apriori description, in the form of a mathematical model, of the interaction between the state and the control signals. Feedback interconnections, resulting in closed loops, can be used to alter the system’s behavior, enabling closed-loop feedback control to reduce the modeling fidelity required to design control systems and achieve the desired temporal behavior of the system.</span><br><br><span>If a sufficiently detailed, control-oriented model is available, optimal control strategies can be used to optimize relevant metrics such as time of operation, fuel consumption, etc. Robust control strategies can be used to design control laws that reduce the sensitivity of relevant metrics to parametric variations in the system. When parameters in the system model are unknown, uncertain, or vary with time, adaptive control strategies can be used to achieve and maintain the desired behavior </span><span>of the system despite a lack of knowledge of system parameters. However, real-world effects such as actuator constraints, measurement uncertainty, conflicting and infeasible system commands, and the system’s mathematically unmodelable complexity pose considerable challenges to optimal, robust, and adaptive control synthesis and weaken the performance guarantees.</span><br><br><span>Motivated by these fundamental challenges, this thesis thus is focused on exploring and developing adaptive strategies that can guarantee performance in the presence of system uncertainties, actuator constraints, and lack of control-oriented models. In particular, model-based adaptive control designs based on a backstepping framework and input-output linearization technique are developed for systems where a control-oriented model is available but the parameters of the system are unknown, </span><span>uncertain, or time-varying. Such systems include aircrafts, multicopters, pendulum systems, rigid multi-body systems, etc, where physics-based models are available, but systems’ inertial and geometric properties introduce parametric uncertainties.</span><div>
    <br><span>Data-driven adaptive control strategies based on retrospective cost optimization, extremum seeking control, etc., are explored for systems where only discrete measurements from the system are available. Various adaptive control techniques developed in this thesis are validated in a numerical simulation framework for multicopter control problems, aircraft control problems, quantum systems control problems, etc.</span>
