This project focuses on developing innovative, biocompatible microrobots for targeted drug delivery, particularly in cancer treatment. By integrating smart hydrogels with magneto-active properties, these tiny robots can navigate the body and deliver highly precise chemotherapy drugs, reducing side effects and improving patient outcomes. Advanced 3D microfabrication techniques, such as two-photon lithography and digital light processing, […]

This project will support the commercialization of TurnCO2, a clean technology startup developing a low-cost carbon capture system designed specifically for craft and mid-sized breweries. Breweries produce large amounts of CO2 during fermentation, but most of it is released into the air while they continue to buy expensive, externally sourced CO2 for packaging and carbonation. […]

This project’s goals include optimizing and documenting the development of zwitterionic hydrogels that will be used as injectable hydrogels to substitute current hyaluronic acid-based viscosupplements to treat osteoarthritis. During this internship, the intern will be able to work on the synthesis, characterization, purification, and packaging of zwitterionic hydrogels and document these protocols by establishing standard […]

Permeation of CO2 gas through the inner layer in multi-layer fiber reinforced pipes (FRPs) destructively reduces pipe durability. FRPs generally consist of three or more layers of polymer and reinforcing fibers. Gas permeation thorough the polymer layer and its accumulation in reinforcing layer leads to pipe failure during depressurizing cycles. Using clay nano-platelet can lead […]

The transition to electric medium and heavy-duty vehicles, particularly school buses, presents a significant opportunity for sustainable transportation. School buses are ideal candidates for electrification due to their predictable daily routes and manageable travel distances. However, establishing the necessary charging infrastructure and charging schedule at bus depots is a major barrier to this transition. Installing […]

The use of orbital angular momentum (OAM) for free-space optical (FSO) communications is almost unexplored. The proposed research will investigate the bit-error rate (BER) performance of FSO systems using OAM. The analysis will begin by considering the ideal case of separable OAM-modulated FSO system performance, to be followed by the individual and combined effects of […]

This project aims to enhance Independence Robotics’ assistive robotic system by making it more powerful, modular, and reliable. We will upgrade the system’s hardware by transitioning from an Arduino Mega to an ESP32 microcontroller and integrating CAN bus communication for better sensor and actuator support. On the software side, we will develop real-time teleoperation controls […]

As IoT adoption grows, ensuring seamless connectivity across diverse environments is increasingly challenging. Many devices, such as sensors in farming, environmental monitoring, and disaster response, operate in remote areas where traditional networks are unavailable or insufficient. In such cases, NTN-integrated networks play a crucial role in providing connectivity. However, NTN communications require high transmission power, […]

The ultimate goal of this project is to detect and localize leaks in pipelines in real time. Hifi Engineering has developed distributed fiber optic sensors. Measurements are obtained at evenly spaced intervals along the pipeline (called channels). This project aims to develop data processing tools to improve leak detection and localization. Many events occur along […]
