FAU 2016 3MT® Three Minute Thesis Championship - Eric Nieves
Title
FAU 2016 3MT® Three Minute Thesis Championship - Eric Nieves.
Creator
Nieves, Eric, Graduate College
Abstract/Description
The 3MT® competition celebrates the exciting research conducted by graduate students. Developed by The University of Queensland (UQ), the exercise cultivates students’ academic, presentation, and research communication skills. The competition supports their capacity to effectively explain their research in three minutes, in language appropriate to a non-specialist audience. The first 3MT® competition was held at the University of Queensland in 2008 with 160 students competing. In 2009 and...

In 2009 and 2010 the 3MT® competition was promoted to other Australian and New Zealand universities and enthusiasm for the concept grew. Since 2011, the popularity of the competition has increased and 3MT® competitions are now held in over 170 universities across more than 18 countries worldwide.

Characterizing the Magnetic Signature of Internal Waves
Title
Characterizing the Magnetic Signature of Internal Waves.
Creator
Nieves, Eric, Beaujean, Pierre-Philippe, Florida Atlantic University, College of Engineering and Computer Science, Department of Ocean and Mechanical Engineering
Abstract/Description
This study is performed in tandem with numerous experiments performed by the U.S. Navy to characterize the ocean environment in the South Florida region. The research performed in this study includes signal processing steps for isolating ocean phenomena, such as internal waves, in the magnetic field. Raw magnetometer signals, one on shore and one underwater, are processed and removed of common distortions. They are then run through a series of filtering techniques, including frequency domain...

The research performed in this study includes signal processing steps for isolating ocean phenomena, such as internal waves, in the magnetic field. Raw magnetometer signals, one on shore and one underwater, are processed and removed of common distortions. They are then run through a series of filtering techniques, including frequency domain cancellation (FDC). The results of the filtered magnetic residual are compared to similarly processed Acoustic Doppler Current Profiler (ADCP) data to correlate whether a magnetic signature is caused by ocean phenomena.

APPLYING BLIND SOURCE SEPARATION TO MAGNETIC ANOMALY DETECTION
Title
APPLYING BLIND SOURCE SEPARATION TO MAGNETIC ANOMALY DETECTION.
Creator
Nieves, Eric, Beaujean, Pierre-Philippe, Florida Atlantic University, Department of Ocean and Mechanical Engineering, College of Engineering and Computer Science
Abstract/Description
The research shows a novel approach for the Magnetic Anomaly Differentiation and Localization Algorithm, which simultaneously localizes multiple magnetic anomalies with weak total field signatures (tens of nT). In particular, it focuses on the case where there are two homogeneous targets with known magnetic moments. This was done by analyzing the magnetic signals and adapting Independent Component Analysis (ICA) and Simulated Annealing (SA) to solve the problem statement. The results show the...
Show moreThe research shows a novel approach for the Magnetic Anomaly Differentiation and Localization Algorithm, which simultaneously localizes multiple magnetic anomalies with weak total field signatures (tens of nT). In particular, it focuses on the case where there are two homogeneous targets with known magnetic moments. This was done by analyzing the magnetic signals and adapting Independent Component Analysis (ICA) and Simulated Annealing (SA) to solve the problem statement. The results show the groundwork for using a combination of fastICA and SA to give localization errors of 3 meters or less per target in simulation and achieved a 58% success rate. Experimental results experienced additional errors due to the effects of magnetic background, unknown magnetic moments, and navigation error. While one target was localized within 3 meters, only the latest experimental run showed the second target approaching the localization specification. This highlighted the need for higher signal-to-noise ratio and equipment with better navigational accuracy. The data analysis was used to provide recommendations on the needed equipment to minimize observed errors and improve algorithm success.
