Wayne State and University of Arizona Students Shine at ASME IMECE 2024

From November 17-21, 2024, our talented students proudly showcased their groundbreaking research at the American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME) International Mechanical Engineering Congress & Exposition (IMECE) at the Oregon Convention Center. Presenting innovative poster sessions, they contributed cutting-edge insights into quantum computing, acoustic qubits, and permafrost prediction.

Our featured students, from left to right in the photo:

🔹 Kazi Tahsin (Wayne State): Quantum Realm in Classical Mechanics: A New Basis of Topological Computing
🔹 Abrar (Rochi) Nur-E Faiaz (Wayne State): Advancing Quantum-Inspired Computing with Phi-Bits
🔹 Akinsanmi Ige (University of Arizona): Information Encoding and Encryption in Acoustic Analogues of Qubits
🔹 Harry Mayrhofer (University of Arizona): Geometric Phase-Based Inverse Problems for Predicting Changes in Permafrost Properties

With dedication and passion, our team transported their posters from Tucson to Portland, ensuring their impactful work reached the world. Their presentations sparked engaging discussions, highlighting their contributions to the future of mechanical and quantum engineering.
