• Doctoral Dissertation Oral Defense of Yolanda Carlton
  DNP student Yolanda Carlton presenting her final project: “Piloting the Master Preceptor Model: An Innovative Approach to Supporting new Graduate Nurses.”
• Learning-based Cyber–Physical Framework for Distribution System State Estimation and Event Analytics
  This dissertation defense presents a unified, learning-based framework that enhances the accuracy, robustness, and interpretability of Distribution System State Estimation (DSSE) and cyber–physical event analytics. The research develops multi-fidelity framework for uncertainty-aware state estimation and spatio-temporal deep learning architectures for detecting, classifying, and localizing cyberattacks and physical events. Validation on IEEE benchmark feeders and a […]
• Doctoral Dissertation Oral Defense of Yidan Zhang
  In this work, conventional seaweed biorefining was first improved through the use of green solvents and food-grade chemicals, replacing harsh reagents and simplifying downstream purification. Building on this foundation, a one-step reactive extrusion extraction (REE) method was established, enabling scalable, equipment-efficient conversion of whole seaweed biomass into alginate-rich extracts while retaining insoluble cellulose fractions in […]
