Presentation: Wearable Sensing For Health And Performance.
Abstract: Recent advances in digital health technologies are enabling biomedical researchers to reframe health optimization and disease treatment in a patient-specific, personalized manner. This talk will focus on my group’s research in two areas of relevance to digital health: (1) cardiogenic vibration sensing and analytics; and (2) musculoskeletal sensing with joint acoustic emissions and bioimpedance. Our group has extensively studied the timings and characteristics of cardiogenic vibration signals such as the ballistocardiogram and seismocardiogram, and applied these signals for quantifying filling pressures and volume status in the context of heart failure (volume overload) and hemorrhage (volume depletion). We envision that these technologies can all contribute to improving patient care with lower cost and better outcomes.

Virginia Koday Virginia Koday

  • M.S. in Cybersecurity
  • Cyber Systems Security Engineer in the Advanced Technical Leadership Program at Lockheed Martin
Virginia Koday obtained a B.A. in Sociology from University of Phoenix in 2014, a B.A. in Information and Computer Sciences from the University of Hawaii in 2018, and an M.S. in Cybersecurity from the University of Denver in 2020. Ms. Koday works at Lockheed Martin, where she conducts cyber assessments on developing technologies to implement cybersecurity into the engineering process. She is also leading the development of Lockheed Martin’s Cyber Test and Evaluation Guidelines, making a unified approach on cybersecurity practices for the entire company. Having served in the military for 9 years, Ms. Koday volunteers at a local veteran’s group V.E.T. aimed at providing veterans the means and community to get outdoors. She also volunteers at various Cybersecurity and Capture-The-Flag events. Ms. Koday has received awards on her technological expertise including penetration test competitions, and is in Lockheed Martin’s Advanced Technical Leadership Program.
Presentation: Cybersecurity Engineering: Building robust architecture in a cyber-contested world
Abstract: Recent news has published information on technology and infrastructure at risk for being compromised due to cyber-attacks. There are several instances in which these attacks have been successful and have resulted in great consequences. Integrating Cybersecurity into the engineering process will enable designs to be resilient against attacks and ensure that the technology can operate in an increasingly hostile environment. This presentation will share examples of these attacks, how to identify vulnerabilities in designs, and a process that engineers can integrate into their development cycle to include cybersecurity into their architecture.

Mr William BurgoyneMr William Burgoyne

  • Mechanical Engineer
  • Control Systems Engineer, Lockheed Martin

William Burgoyne holds a BS in Mechanical Engineering from Brigham Young University and an MS in Mechanical Engineering with a focus on Control Systems from the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign. After passing the PhD qualifying exam at the University of Illinois, he decided to pursue a professional career and joined United Launch Alliance in 2007 as a Control Systems Engineer. During his 12-year tenure, William developed and maintained vehicle-specific analysis tools and verified system requirements. In 2019, he joined Lockheed Martin to lead a Flight Sciences team before returning to a technical role as a Control Systems Engineer in 2021. William’s expertise lies in control systems design, frequency domain analysis, and vehicle dynamics. Outside of work, he dedicates his time to family, community, and church service.

Presentation: Launch Vehicle Control System Analysis: Bridging the Gap between Academia and Industry
Abstract: This presentation explores the essential skills and knowledge needed by control system engineers in the space launch industry, focusing on the gap between academic theory and practical industry applications. While graduates learn key concepts like linear and nonlinear systems, root-locus methods, and Matlab-based analysis, professionals in the field must go further by mastering Nichols plots, designing control schemes for multiple-input systems, and performing complex analyses in languages like Fortran. This talk aims to prepare future engineers by highlighting these advanced skills, ensuring they are well-equipped to contribute to the evolving demands of the space launch sector. Attendees will learn how to apply their academic foundations to real-world challenges and innovate within the industry.
