The objective of this project is to develop a proof-of-concept of a formable polymer in the shape of a customizable inset for an earphone. The material should be relatively inexpensive, take shape rapidly (within a few seconds optimally) and ultimately provide consumers with a customized earphone that will fit the vast majority of the population. […]

The proposed project will help in the development of a new revolutionary product. Its focus will be the design and development of a customizable in-ear earphone sleeve (ear bud/body of earphone). The designed sleeve will be initially flexible and adapt to the human ear contour once plugged into the ear. Later, the sleeve will take […]

This project focuses on improving membrane bioreactor (MBR) systems to make wastewater treatment more efficient and sustainable. MBRs combine biological treatment with membrane filtration to remove contaminants and produce clean water while recovering energy and valuable resources from wastewater. As global energy use rises and fossil fuels increasingly harm the environment, this research aims to […]

The interest in organic waste treatment has increased a lot in the recent years. Among the treatment technologies, anaerobic digestion (AD) has gained a significant role in municipal solid waste management due to its energy recovery benefits. Digestate is the solid material produced from the biodegradation of organic waste during anaerobic digestion process. Management of […]

Metallic parts are used in combination with oil or grease in many applicaitons, for example in car engines or hinges. To re-use them, the surface of the metal needs to be cleaned. Current technology makes use of solvents to remove the contamination. Although very effective, this method is polluting. Our industry partner (Walter Surface Technologies) […]
