THIS IS A GENERIC TEXT PUT IN PLACE AS THERE WAS NO PROJECT OVERVIEW

Ocean industries, such as shipbuilding and offshore energy, face challenges in selecting materials that can endure corrosive environments, high pressures, and mechanical stresses. While materials like composites and aluminum offer promise, their adoption is slowed by their inherently complex and nonlinear mechanical behavior, which is sensitive to environmental conditions, as well as by the time-consuming, […]

Street2School is a youth-led initiative that addresses the growing issue of educational inequity in Nigeria, particularly among out-of-school children in underserved communities like Zamani. With over 10.5 million children currently out of school in Nigeria, according to UNICEF, our mission is to provide these children with access to quality education, breaking the cycle of poverty […]

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 […]

ELISAs are one of the most utilized immunoassays for rapid disease diagnostics, disease surveillance, biomarker quantification, food inspection, and food analysis. Since the invention of ELISAs over 50 years ago, they have been restricted to single-use disposable test kits. Invention of reusable ELISAs is a potentially market-disrupting advancement that requires market validation. The Lab2Market Validate […]

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 […]
