Kourosh Latifi successfully defended his PhD thesis "Controlling the motion of particles on a vibrating plate using dynamic acoustic fields"
Latifi graduates from the Robotic Instruments research group.
We gladly announce, that yesterday June 10th, our Doctoral student successfully defended his PhD thesis "Controlling the motion of particles on a vibrating plate using dynamic acoustic fields" in the field of Automation, Systems and Control Engineering.
Latifi's research definitely contributed to the know-how of the Robotic Instruments research group, and his work challenged two common beliefs related to Chladni’s experiment, and provided solid experimental evidence that the motion of particles on a vibrating plate is not random, and can be statistically predicted and controlled; also he experimentally demonstrated that heavy particles can move towards the antinodes of vibration on a vibrating plate.
