The FishNet Map project aims to create a practical, user-friendly mapping service that helps identify fishing hotspots in near real-time using satellite observations and environmental data. By integrating multi-source satellite observation with real-time weather and sea-state forecasts, the platform pinpoints optimal fishing zones, predicts hotspot shifts, and flags risks such as storms or restricted areas. […]

This project will develop two integrated boil-off gas recovery and re-liquefaction systems for liquefied natural gas and liquefied hydrogen carriers that harness ship exhaust heat and convert it into usable energy through the Kalina power cycle and water-ammonia absorption refrigeration unit. Unlike conventional re-liquefaction systems that require burning additional fuel to produce cooling, the proposed […]

The proposed project focuses on developing and testing metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) for capturing CO2 from both the air and seawater. The intern will identify promising MOF materials, conduct laboratory experiments to measure CO2 uptake, and use computational and machine learning tools to predict performance and optimize designs. The project also includes evaluating the costs, energy […]
