Developing seismic reliability analysis methods for complex infrastructure systems

Evaluate the seismic performance of complex infrastructure systems considering various uncertainties of structural system based on understanding of structural failure mechanism by the earthquake. To do this, it is necessary to estimate the seismic capacity and seismic demand of the structure in a stochastic manner. Therefore, accurately estimation of the seismic capacity and the capacity […]

Development of next generation vision sensor with coded multi-exposure pixel and compressive sensing based readout

Vision sensor is essential components in sensor applications of industry 4.0 such as autonomous vehicle, Internet of Things (IoT), Neural Network. The main goal of this research is to study, design, and develop a new concept of computational vision sensors called “transport-aware”. Unlike conventional vision sensors which record all incident light, transport-aware vision sensor can […]

Cell Designs for High-Energy Electrically Rechargeable Zinc-Air Batteries

The objective of this project is to design and fabricate electrically rechargeable zinc-air batteries. These batteries are highly promising due to their ability to store up to double the amount of energy as current commercialized lithium-ion batteries, based on both energy-per-mass and energy-per-volume measurements. This advantage, as well as their low cost and inherent safety, […]

Development of Solar Micro-Reactors for Steam Methane Reforming

Hydrogen is often seen as an energy carrier that can support our growing need for greener energy. However, current methods to produce hydrogen are cost prohibitive or generate large volumes of CO2, namely by the combustion of natural gas (NG) to provide heat to the commonly used steam methane reforming (SMR) process. By using established […]

Three dimensional (3D) ultrasound image analysis of the female pelvic floor

Pelvic organ prolapse (POP) is the descent of the pelvic organs into the vaginal canal, affecting up to 50% of the female population. Pessaries are intravaginal medical devices used to alleviate the symptoms of prolapse. However, pessaries are fit through trial and error and finding the right fit is not guaranteed for all patients. Cosm […]

Fabry-Perot Pressure Sensors for High Temperature Applications

The use of advanced manufacturing methods and analysis tools and bringing them to the plant floor is crucial for modern manufacturing. A gap that has become apparent is that often engineering capabilities are not available within many facilities – and this requires robust design and new thinking to ensure manufacturers ensure quality product. The pressure […]

Comparison of transformation products of tetracycline using ozonation and photo-Fenton reaction and evaluating their toxicities

Tetracycline antibiotics (TCs) have received significant interest due to broad-spectrum antibiotics. TCs are detected worldwide in surface water, ground waters, and even drinking water sources because of excreting through urine and feces. The presence of TCs represents a threat to humans and ecosystems by developing drug-resistant bacteria and the toxicity of the antibiotics Thus, it […]

Conversion of lignocellulosic biomass or waste materials into value-added products via hydrothermal fractionation and liquefaction/gasification

I propose the study on intermediate (value-added) product production from distributed lignocellulosic biomass or waste materials through hydrothermal fractionation/liquefaction/gasification. In future, supply-chain network system is important because of reduction of electric loss. It can avoid food and unused land use issues. also, biofuels are considered carbon-neutral as the plant recycle the CO2 released from their […]

Development of fast photocrosslinking bioinks for visible light-based stereolithography 3D bioprinting

The research projects aims to develop the fast photocrosslinking bioinks for visible light-based stereolithography 3D bioprinting. In order to prepare bioinks for 3D bioprinting, alginate was modified with tyramine which is phenol group and gelatin was modified with glycidyl methacrylate. Compound with alginate-tyramine derivatives(Alg/Tyr) and gelatin-methacrylate(GelMA) will improve its 3D printability, mechanical properties and cell […]

Geographic mapping for small-diameter gas pipelines in a city

Geographic location of a pipeline is important information for pipeline maintenance and fault detection. Usually, the geographic location of a pipeline on the ground can be measured directly with global positioning system (GPS) technology, but it is much difficult to determine the geographic position of an inaccessible underground pipeline in a city. In this research, […]
