Xiao­tong Sun received the Engi­neer­ing Inno­va­tion Award from the Col­lege of Engi­neer­ing at the Engi­neer­ing Col­lege Sym­po­sium on Octo­ber 26th. This award rec­og­nizes a grad­u­ate stu­dent who has demon­strat­ed research with out­stand­ing engi­neer­ing inno­va­tion in the Advanced Grad­u­ate Stu­dent Research Poster Session.

The Engi­neer­ing Grad­u­ate Sym­po­sium is a col­lege-wide event focus­ing on doc­tor­al and master’s stu­dents’ research. Col­lege of Engi­neer­ing grad­u­ate stu­dents were invit­ed to sub­mit an abstract and a poster for one of the poster ses­sions. The day-long pro­gram fea­tured many oppor­tu­ni­ties for the grad­u­ate stu­dents. The event includ­ed grad­u­ate stu­dents show­cas­ing their research in poster pre­sen­ta­tions and sci­en­tif­ic visu­al­iza­tions while net­work­ing with alum­ni, fac­ul­ty, peers and prospec­tive stu­dents. The event also fea­tured speak­ers, spon­sor infor­ma­tion booths, info ses­sions and interviews.

Sun pre­sent­ed her poster, “Behav­ioral­ly Sta­ble Vehi­cle Pla­toon­ing for Ener­gy Sav­ings,” which dis­cuss­es coop­er­a­tive vehi­cle pla­toons. Coop­er­a­tive vehi­cle pla­toon­ing is a set of vehi­cles dri­ving togeth­er with low in-vehi­cle dis­tance enabled by con­nect­ed and auto­mat­ed vehi­cle tech­nol­o­gy. Sun’s pre­sen­ta­tion dis­cuss­es the ways that coop­er­a­tive vehi­cle pla­toons can save ener­gy due to air drag reduc­tion. Sun’s poster was co-authored with CEE Pro­fes­sor Yafeng Yin.
