This project is focused on the design and optimization of a helmet, the Regulated Multi-stage Air-pressurized Chambers Helmet (R-MACH), that incorporates a unique idea aimed at effectively mitigating rotational forces without compromising on weight or performance at high impact velocities. Our novel design leverages interconnected air-pressurized chambers and elastic materials, instead of Expanded Polystyrene (EPS) […]

This work focuses on solar-driven hydrogen production and the valorization of glycerol into value-added chemicals using advanced photocatalysis techniques. By combining renewable energy with glycerol waste management, this research addresses two critical challenges: reducing greenhouse gas emissions through clean hydrogen production and creating a sustainable, circular economy by converting biodiesel byproducts into useful chemicals. There […]

Brain aneurysms are blisters on brain arteries caused by high blood pressure and smoking. Every 18 minutes, a brain aneurysm ruptures, leading to 1,370 deaths a day worldwide. This project seeks to develop an innovative brain implantable device to treat brain aneurysms through prototyping, lab validation, and customer discovery and feedback. The partner organization supports […]

This project focuses on developing an innovative passive capillary microfluidic platform for the isolation of extracellular vesicles (EVs), which are essential for diagnostic and therapeutic applications. The goal is to create a more efficient, scalable, and cost-effective method of EV isolation compared to traditional techniques such as ultracentrifugation. This technology will allow for high-purity EV […]

There is a lack of technology to optimize performance and prevent injuries in cyclists. This is a potential reason leading to an injury rate of 3-50 per 1000 persons. Our solution leverages AI to deliver real-time, accurate biomechanical feedback to riders. By providing actionable insights, it has the potential to reduce injury rates and significantly […]

Pedaling exercises using stationary cycling ergometers are a widely used rehabilitation method for lower limb injury recovery. However, current cycling devices do not allow for individualized training of each leg based on its specific load-carrying capacity. APAD is novel cycling ergometer that will address this gap by designing and developing a smart cycling ergometer capable […]
