Policy and Environmental Research for Infrastructure Projects

Ultimarii is a software company that helps speed up environmental and regulatory approvals for major infrastructure projects by using artificial intelligence. This internship project will bring on a student researcher to study environmental and energy policies, analyze public data on approval processes, and create easy-to-understand reports and summaries. The intern’s work will directly support Ultimarii’s […]

Analyzing process data alongside traditional item responses to obtain more accurate imputation, offering a deeper understanding of respondent behavior and enhancing the quality of imputing missing responses

This project aims to enhance proficiency estimation in large-scale assessments by improving missing-data imputation techniques. Specifically, the study focuses on refining Multiple Imputation with Denoising Autoencoders (MIDAS)—a deep learning-based approach—by incorporating item response time as an additional contextual feature. Unlike traditional item response theory (IRT) or regression-based methods, which rely on strong assumptions, the proposed […]

Efficient Signal Processing and Radio Resource Management for High-Throughput and Low-Latency Massive MIMO Cellular Systems

Future cellular systems must accommodate increasing demand for very high throughput and low latency data services. Massive multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) approach involving base stations equipped with much larger numbers of antennas than the numbers of users served promises to significantly increase network capacity, while nonorthogonal multi-carrier transmission is expected to dramatically reduce the latency. Integration […]

L2M – Carbon Capture in Breweries using Adsorption-Based Technology

This project will support the commercialization of TurnCO2, a clean technology startup developing a low-cost carbon capture system designed specifically for craft and mid-sized breweries. Breweries produce large amounts of CO2 during fermentation, but most of it is released into the air while they continue to buy expensive, externally sourced CO2 for packaging and carbonation. […]

Enhanced Mechanical Properties and Lower Gas Permeability for Liner Polyethylene in Fiber Reinforced Pipes (FRPs)

Permeation of CO2 gas through the inner layer in multi-layer fiber reinforced pipes (FRPs) destructively reduces pipe durability. FRPs generally consist of three or more layers of polymer and reinforcing fibers. Gas permeation thorough the polymer layer and its accumulation in reinforcing layer leads to pipe failure during depressurizing cycles. Using clay nano-platelet can lead […]

Aiding Leak Detection in Pipelines Using System Identification

The ultimate goal of this project is to detect and localize leaks in pipelines in real time. Hifi Engineering has developed distributed fiber optic sensors. Measurements are obtained at evenly spaced intervals along the pipeline (called channels). This project aims to develop data processing tools to improve leak detection and localization. Many events occur along […]
