Electron Microprobe Analysis on the JEOL JXA-8200 Superprobe
Nilanjan Chatterjee
Fri Jan 21, 03-05:00pm, 54-1221
No enrollment limit, no advance sign up
Single session event
This session is to introduce new users to the JEOL JXA-8200 Superprobe. You will have hands-on experience (if time permits) on our electron microprobe equipped with enhanced imaging capabilities and learn about wavelength and energy dispersive spectrometry, back-scattered electron, secondary electron, cathodoluminescence, and elemental x-ray imaging. Please contact Dr. Chatterjee by submitting form at [http://web.mit.edu/e-probe/www/courses.shtml], or call: 617-253-1995/email: nchat@mit.edu.

Signup by: 31-Dec-2010
Limited to 20 participants.
Participants requested to attend all sessions (non-series)
Prereq: Some computer programming experience; permission of leader
This class will feature a detailed look at embedded system design for real time applications. Lectures will describe FPGAs, VHDL, real time theory, and integrating those pieces with embedded linux to produce a complete embedded architecture for real world applications. Lab will include working with commercial off the shelf hardware and software tool chains. Two additional hours will be required outside of class/lab.
Sign up for the class and questions about the class should be directed to wardman@mit.edu
This activity is sponsored by AeroAstro, EAPS, and EECS.

Introduction to Inverse Methods
Carl Wunsch
Mon Jan 24 thru Fri Jan 28, 10:30am-12:00pm, 54-317
No enrollment limit, no advance sign up
Participants requested to attend all sessions (non-series)
An introductory class: simple and heuristic, with as little mathematics as seems possible. Simple computer exercises to demonstrate the basic ideas. Included are static and time-dependent methodologies including the singular value decomposition, Gauss-Markov estimators, Kalman filters, RTS smoothers, generalized versions of least-squares, adjoints, distinctions between data assimilation and state estimimation, etc. The primary emphasis is on linear problems---which are essential to understanding non-linear ones.
