Here’s a video that I should have posted earlier. A VIP team of undergraduates working in Prof. Morris Cohen‘s Low Frequency laboratory (our neighbors up here on the 5th floor of Van Leer) took a picture of the Georgia Solar eclipse using a high-altitude balloon. The height of the eclipse happens around 4:00 min.
Today is the first official day of class for the Fall 2018 term. Yours truly will be teaching ECE 4370 Antenna Engineering and ECE 4371 Antenna Engineering Lab as well as directing the AY19 edition of the ECE Opportunity Research Scholars. To all of those away at internships, vacations, summer programs, etc. welcome back!
Have you ever worried about a future robot apocalypse? This video collection of robot fails will comfort you. Skynet has a long way to go.
