Congratulations to Mike Humara on his recent promotion to Commander (CDR, O5) in the US Navy. Mike will now be the Commanding Officer of a submarine! Congratulations Mike!

Congratulations to Tony Ruy on his graduation! Tony received an SM from Computational Science and Engineering for his research on “Adaptive Stochastic Reduced-Order Modeling for Autonomous Ocean Platforms” with our MSEAS group at MIT.

Techniques for use in connection with determining an optimized route for a vehicle include obtaining a target state, a fixed initial position of the vehicle, and dynamic flow information, and determining an optimized route from the fixed initial position to the target state using the dynamic flow information.

The U.S. Patent Office has issued a patent to Pierre, Deepak, Chinmay, and Pat for techniques for use in connection with determining an optimized route for a vehicle. The patent will be officially issued on September 6, 2022, as US Patent No. 11,435,199. More information and details can be found here. Congratulations Pierre, Deepak, Chinmay, and Pat!

Patrick Wahlig, a rising high school senior who joined MSEAS during summer 2022 as an RSI scholar, has received recognition for having a paper in the top five of those produced by all RSI students this year. His paper, “Towards a System for Modeling the Impacts of Ocean Acidification on Sea Scallops (Placopecten magellanicus) in Massachusetts Bay,” focuses on designing a computer program modeling the impacts of ocean acidification on shellfish growth in Massachusetts Bay, calibrating existing equations to local conditions. Congrats Patrick!
