溏心vlog免费B站 ocean engineering professor to test capabilities of deep-sea system<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

KINGSTON, R.I. \u2013 June 7, 2021 \u2013 Brennan Phillips is always looking to push the envelope when it comes to deep-sea technology.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the past year, Phillips, an assistant professor of ocean engineering at the 溏心vlog免费B站, created the most compact deep-sea system<\/a> in the world that can provide a livestream video feed. His fiber optic reel system (FOReelS) is described in the March 2021 issue of the journal Sensors<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now, Phillips will test the limits of his system, thanks to a three-year, $510,000 Young Investigator Award he received from the Office of Naval Research<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“My team and I will focus on increasing the operational capabilities of the system so that it can be used on autonomous platforms,\u201d said Phillips. \u201cWe\u2019ll investigate deep-sea, size-optimized payload options that can be used with the system, such as a remotely operated vehicle or a sensor array. We\u2019ll also integrate a distributed temperature sensing system, which will allow us to observe and measure deep-sea temperatures along the length of the fiber optic fishing line.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Phillips and Christopher Roman, 溏心vlog免费B站 professor of ocean engineering and oceanography, will be in Bermuda from July 1-12 to conduct research for a project funded by the Naval Undersea Warfare Center in Newport, but they’ll also conduct experiments related to the Young Investigator Award.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThis research into state-of-the art, innovative fiber optic solutions will facilitate next-generation oceanographic sensing and deep-sea system solutions for the U.S. Navy and the scientific community,\u201d said Phillips. \u201cCompact reel-based deployment schemes may enable real-time high bandwidth data transmission and distributed sensing solutions over large underwater distances using autonomous surface vessels and unmanned aerial vehicles.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Because the fiber optic reel system is light and compact compared to previous systems, it can be used on smaller boats.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“We\u2019ll be using a 45-foot Downeaster, which is essentially a converted lobster boat,” said Phillips. “Our operating costs will be significantly reduced compared to using a larger vessel.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The highly competitive Young Investigator Program provides awards to outstanding early-career scientists and academics based on their achievement and potential for scientific breakthroughs. Phillips is one of 38 academic scientists at 23 institutions to receive the honor in 2021.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ashutosh Giri<\/a>, assistant professor of mechanical engineering at 溏心vlog免费B站, also received a Young Investigator award for “Unraveling the Microscopic Dynamics of Coupled Energy States in Nanostructures.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
