Current wastewater treatment facilities are relatively large and located in centralized populated areas. A major issue arises in an area such as Tianjin China because there are a number a small communities and villages located a great distance away from the centralized treatment plant within the city. Because of this, those villages require a transportation […]

Failure of a material under a repetitive load is called (mechanical) fatigue. Our goal is to substantially improve the understanding of the fatigue process by following continuously the material’s properties/response to a specific type of load during a test. We have developed some understanding for tests in torsion, allowing us to detect macroscopic cracks instantaneously […]

La fabrication numérique d’une ville historique Ce projet de fabrication numérique d’une ville historique est une déclinaison du projet de fabrication de ville intelligente #SmartCityMaker (Romero & Lille, 2017 ; Romero, Lille, Girard, Cohen, & Spence, 2017). Il vise aider les élèves à étudier rigoureusement le passé dans une séquence d’apprentissage technocréative. Dans ce projet, […]

We are making an active video game to give kids who have Cerebral Palsy a fun way to practice therapy movements. Cerebral Palsy (CP) affects 1 in 400 people from birth. It can make it difficult to use your hands to do things like buttoning up your shirt. In partnership with Paris-Saclay University in France, […]

By growing of computer and electronic science and also wireless devices, which are used at home or at work, electromagnetic interference shielding is becoming increasingly evident. Electromagnetic waves emitted from electronic devices are noises that interfere with other electronic devices and impair their functioning. Due to the increasing spread of electronic and communication devices, these […]

Various hydrogel microstructures will be fabricated with hydrogels exhibiting different molecular weights and structures along with varying concentrations of the photoinitiator and ultraviolet doses. Then, resonance sensitivity of fabricated hydrogel microstructures will be investigated with direct electrical and indirect IR heating. Using the dynamic mask, various hydrogel microstructures with different sizes and shapes will be […]

With a fond interest in international development and social economics, the student will undertake an international collaboration to tackle the trending issue of elderly poverty in South Korea. Indeed, South Korea has known a prominent growth since the war but at the expense of the marginalized group of elderly. South Korea now has the greatest […]

Suppose there are a number of committees of people, which we represent by vertices of a graph and draw an edge between two vertices if those committees share a common member. Then the list-colouring number is (informally) the minimum number k so that as long as each committee comes up with a list of k-many […]

Phytoplankton produce more than half of the world’s oxygen annually, and make omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids, which are healthy fats that are passed marine food chains to fish for human consumption. These healthy fats are essential to our diet, meaning our bodies either cannot produce them at all or not in high enough quantities […]

Buried pipelines may go under large lateral deformations in different occasions such as ice gouging, ground movement, significant thermal gradients, and dragging by anchors, etc. In practice, the backfilling material is much softer than the native trench material because of the impact of functional, environmental, and constructional loads. This important aspect which is less considered […]

Water electrolysis (splitting water into O2 and H2; 2H2O 2H2 + O2) is a promising way to creating hydrogen gas as a storable chemical fuel. While H2 is the desired fuel, the evolution of oxygen hinders hydrogen production as it is kinetically challenging and requires potent and expensive catalysts to be driven at an appreciable […]

The proposed research project while at the Weizmann Institute of Science will have the main goal of contributing to the upgrade of the ATLAS detector. The ATLAS experiment is a multipurpose particle detector at the world’s largest particle accelerator, the Large Hadron Collider (LHC). In particular, a very important part of the ATLAS detector, the […]
