Project Description:Big Data in the area of Remote Sensing has been growing rapidly. Remote sensors are used in surveillance, security, traffic, environmental monitoring, and autonomous sensing. Real-time detection of small moving targets using a remote sensor is an ongoing, challenging problem. Since the object is located far away from the sensor, the object often appears too small. The object’s signal-to-noise-ratio (SNR) is often very low. Occurrences such as camera motion, moving backgrounds (e.g. rustling leaves), low contrast and resolution of foreground objects makes it difficult to segment out the targeted moving objects of interest. Due to the limited appearance of the target, it is difficult to obtain the target’s characteristics such as its shape and texture. Without these characteristics, filtering out false detections can be a difficult task. Detecting these targets, would often require the detector to operate under a low detection threshold which poses a risk to increasing false alarms. In this project, the applicant will acquire knowledge and experience on developing algorithms and software to detect and track moving objects using a remote sensor.

Project Description:Uncertainty Quantification (UQ) is the science of characterizing sources of uncertainty in a model with the goal of understanding their impact on the quantities the model aims to predict, as well as reducing uncertainty when possible. Uncertainties can arise from uncontrolled variability in the modeled phenomenon (e.g. manufacturing variability) and/or from incomplete knowledge about some aspects of the phenomenon (e.g. operative and environmental conditions). These sources of uncertainty in the model lead to uncertainty in modeled quantities of interest, which are quantified statistically. For high-consequence problems of national security relevance, whose complexity make it impossible to precisely know all aspects of the modeled phenomena, and which often exhibit significant uncontrolled variability, UQ analyses ensure safety and performance requirements are met, despite the uncertainties in the problem. However, these UQ analyses often add significant computational cost, because the model must be evaluated hundreds to thousands of times for different values of the inputs to compute statistics of the quantities of interest. This is especially challenging for national security problems, which often use high-performance, complex computer codes. Multifidelity UQ is a new and active research field that addresses this issue by combining computer simulations with varying cost and accuracy to lower the overall computational burden, while maintaining accuracy in the desired statistics. Many opportunities are available for algorithm development and/or for applications to complex numerical simulations, including wind energy, aerospace applications, radiation transport, and nuclear waste disposal. The project can be tailored to balance these aspects according to student interest. Hosting Site:Sandia National Laboratories Internship location: Albuquerque, NM Description of the mission of office/facility: Sandia National Laboratories and its Center for Computing Research (CCR) have a long and distinguished history of leadership in computational science and engineering, including massively parallel computation, uncertainty quantification, mathematical optimization, scalable solvers, software toolkits, and scientific software engineering.

Project Description:Students will have the opportunity to gain experience with how water is disinfected, how water treatment systems operate, toxic byproducts that can result from water treatment, and how water quality is sampled with regard to low concentration toxic compounds. Students will gain exposure to systems used for treating water, relevant issues, and have the opportunity to model how water treatment systems perform and when they need to be replaced. LLNL has become a permitted drinking water provider for the two facilities in Livermore and as Site 300. The Site 300 drinking water treatment system employs chlorine for disinfection. However, chlorine applied to water with elevated organic carbon produces disinfection byproducts referred to at trihalomethanes (THMs). THM are toxic at low concentrations and therefore heavily regulated with a maximum contaminant level (MCL) of 80 ppb. LLNL’s drinking water treatment system employs granular activated carbon (GAC) to remove organic carbon through surface sorption to minimized THM formation. It is not well understood when the GAC filters will require replacement. To assess this the project will work with laboratory scientists to develop and apply analytical methods for measuring organic carbon in drinking water. This method will be applied to samples collected from the Site 300 drinking water system. In addition, this project will continue work applying the convection dispersion equation (CDE) model to flow through GAC filters. Combining the hydrologic water flow with surface complexation models will allow estimated of GAC filtration efficacy. This will be applied to model total organic carbon break-through from the GAC filters. This will be the point at which filter replacement is necessary. If time allows after developing the simple model, a sensitivity analysis could be performed to assess typical ranges of potential outcomes and the relative importance of each model variable.

| LLNL-Mitchell6 | 12/15/2021 | 1639544400000 | Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory | Livermore, CA | Environmental or Engineering |
Project Description:Students will have the opportunity to gain experience with how radiological screening is performed, particularly for soils, learn about radioactive isotopes of concern and relevant measurement techniques, gain exposure to how to conduct public health analyses (ANSI 13.12, RESRAD, etc.), and have the opportunity to consider potential options for conducting radiological screening of soils. Students may also learn how to prepare maps of potential areas of concern. Recently the US Department of Energy has produced a memorandum allowing the application of ANSI 13.12 standard for radiological screening of property for release to the public. This decision includes the disposal of soils excavated during projects at DOE facilities. In order to apply this industry standard appropriately, LLNL needs to develop a technical basis document describing the potential radioactive isotope of concern, summarize historical data available, describe how the ANSI 13.12 standard will be applied, compare the approach to other public health analyses like RESRAD, and clarify how LLNL will implement this process. This project provide support to environmental scientists at LLNL to establish applicability criteria and implementation guidance. The effort will include benchmarking how other National Laboratories are implementing this process and documenting lessons learned. If time allows, this effort may also support preparation of maps identifying areas at the Livermore site where specific isotopic analysis of soils may be necessary.
