Dr. LeBlanc joined GWU from Alphabet Energy, a San Francisco Bay Area startup company, where she created re- search, development, and manufacturing characterization solutions for thermoelectric technologies and evaluated the potential of new power generation materials. Dr. LeBlanc’s research goals are to utilize nano- and micro-structuring techniques to improve energy systems. She uses scalable manufacturing techniques to create nanostructured materials for energy and thermal management

They construct asimple RC circuit to filter the pulse waveform and investigate the effects of a varyingtime constant on the information content (and noise) in the signal.
