Exposing the Invisible – Wind’s Potential in Architecture

The objective of this project is to improve the communication between architects and wind engineers so that affects associated with wind such as pedestrian comfort, building strength and ventilation may be considered earlier on within the design phase of a project. By documenting the development of the invisible yet extremely prominent winds that flow through […]

Experimental Evaluation of Emergent Behaviours in Interactive Art Sculptural Systems in Public Installation Settings

In this project, we aim to build an interactive art sculpture that is intrinsically curious. The sculpture learns by doing some action and observing the consequences. We are interested in studying how people perceive the behaviours emerged form this learning process and how different configuration might change this perception. Moreover, we aim to bring this […]

Rechargeable Hybrid Aqueous Gel Batteries for Start-Stop Applications in Automobile Vehicles – Year Two

Currently, all types of vehicles utilize a 12 volt lead-acid battery for start-stop, controls, comfort features, redundancy, and safety features. We aim to replace it by introducing a new rechargeable hybrid aqueous battery, which is lead-free and possesses more than twofold higher energy storage capacity. There are requirements to further improve the rate capability and […]

Versatile applications of a safe and efficient peptide in gene/drug delivery

Gene therapy is one of the most attractive new therapeutic strategies in the treatment of multiple diseases. However, to apply gene therapy in clinic, an efficient and safe delivery system must be developed to transport these therapeutic reagents to target organs. The existing gene carriers suffer from either high cytotoxicity or immunogenicity problems, which will […]
