Job Opening – Product Development Engineer

Soundskrit is leveraging years of research in bio-inspired MEMS microphones to develop the first multidirectional acoustic flow sensor that can capture and isolate any sound in the environment with a fraction of the size, power, and computation of alternative solutions.

Our proprietary hardware senses acoustic waves in a fundamentally new way to provide a level of sound localization and separation not previously obtainable. With our proprietary algorithms, we unlock a suite of audio features with outstanding performance: far-field voice capture, spatial audio recordings for immersive audio rendering, audio event characterization and much more. We have an opening for Product Development Engineer in Ann Arbor, Michigan. Please see the flyer below.

Fall 2020 Tour of the Mechanical Engineering Department

As you may know, the university has implemented several new guidelines designed to ensure the safety and wellness of the UMD community. One of those guidelines are new entry/exit points from university facilities. Previously, you could enter/exit the buildings from any door, and travel throughout the buildings in any direction you please. To ensure proper social distancing, all university facilities have designated entrances and exits for the community to use. The facilities also have directional arrow posters to guide you throughout the building.

We have created a video to show you the quickest and safest way to get to the Dept. of Mechanical Engineering’s student services’ office. The video will also explain how to exit the building from the ME hallway using both the 1st and ground floor exits. Finally, you will see how to contact ME staff if they’re out of the office.

NASA Postdoctoral Program

The NASA Postdoctoral Program offers US and international scientists the opportunity to advance their research while contributing to NASA’s scientific goals.  The NPP supports fundamental science; explores the undiscovered; promotes intellectual growth; and encourages scientific connections.

Selected by a competitive peer-review process, NPP Fellows complete one- to three-year Fellowship appointments that advance NASA’s missions in earth science, heliophysics, planetary science, astrophysics, space bioscience, aeronautics and engineering, human exploration and space operations, and astrobiology.

Applicants must have a Ph.D. or equivalent degree in hand before beginning the fellowship, but may apply while completing the degree requirements. U.S. citizens, Lawful Permanent Residents, and foreign nationals eligible for J-1 status as a Research Scholar may apply.

Stipends start at $60,000 per year, with supplements for high cost-of-living areas and for certain academic specialties. Financial assistance is available for relocation and health insurance, and $10,000 per year is provided for professional travel.

Applications are accepted three times each year: March 1, July 1, and November 1.

Title:  DETERMINING MEASUREMENT REQUIREMENTS FOR WHOLE BUILDING ENERGY MODEL CALIBRATION

Committee:

  • Professor Jelena Srebric, Ph.D., Chair
  • Professor Reinhard Radermacher, Ph.D.
  • Professor Yunho Hwang, Ph.D.
  • Professor Bao Yang, Ph.D.
  • Professor Donald Milton, MD, DrPH, Dean’s Representative

Date/Time: Friday, August 28th 2:00-4:00pm EDT

Abstract: 
Energy retrofits of existing buildings reduce grid requirements for new generation and reduce greenhouse gas emissions.  However, it is difficult to estimate energy savings both at the individual building and entire building stock level because building energy models are poorly calibrated to actual building performance.  This uncertainty has made it difficult to prioritize research & development and incentive programs for building technologies at the utility, state, and federal level.  This research seeks to make it easier to generate building energy models for existing buildings, and to calibrate buildings at the stock level to create accurate commercial building load forecasts.  Once calibrated, these building models can be used as seeds to other building energy model calibration approaches and to help utility, state, and federal actors to identify promising energy savings technologies in commercial buildings.  This research details the economics of a building energy retrofit at a singular building, contributes significantly to the development of ComStock, a model of the commercial building stock in the U.S., identifies important parameters for calibrating ComStock, and calibrates ComStock for an example utility region of Fort Collins, CO against individual commercial building interval data.  A study of retrofit costs finds that measure cost and model uncertainty are the most significant sources of variation in retrofit financial performance, followed by capital cost.  A wide range of greenhouse gas pricing scenarios shows they have little impact on the financial performance of whole building retrofits.  A sensitivity analysis of ComStock model inputs across an exhaustive range of models identifies 19 parameters that explain 80% of energy use and 25 parameters explain 90% of energy use.  Building floor area alone explains 41% of energy use.  Finally, a comparison of ComStock to Fort Collins, CO interval meter data shows a -12.6% normalized mean bias error and 23.5% coefficient of variation of root mean square error.  Improvements in meter classification and ComStock model variability will further improve model fit and provide an accurate means of modeling the commercial building stock.
