Dr. Anton is one of 56 researchers in 2016 awarded the Young Investigator Research Program (YIP) award from the Air Force Office of Scientific Research (AFOSR) for his work entitled “‘Continuous Real-Time State Monitoring in Highly Dynamic Environments.” Further details can be found in the AFOSR press release.
This work, which will be supported for three years, will focus on developing novel sensing systems for structures experiencing rapid changes “by extending conventional electromechanical impedance-based structural health monitoring (SHM) concepts to structural systems experiencing rapid changes in state (e.g. boundary conditions, interfaces, structural damage, etc.) in order to identify those changes on the microsecond to millisecond time frame.”
Dr. Anton is honored to be selected for this prestigious award. Through this award we are excited to continue our research with our collaborator Dr. Jacob Dodson at the Air Force Research Laboratory (AFRL) at Eglin Air Force Base in Florida!
