L2M – Development of Self-Powered Portable Devices for Simultaneous Water Disinfection and Pollutant Removal Through Piezophotocatalysis

This project aims to provide clean drinking water to low-income families in remote areas by developing a self-powered, portable ceramic water filter. While the filter has shown strong pollutant removal in lab tests, real-world testing is needed to confirm its effectiveness. This project will focus on pilot testing, refining the product based on user feedback, […]

Developing Low-Power Spiking Neural Networks for Image Enhancement on Embedded Neuromorphic Boards: A Multimodal Sensor Fusion Approach

Image enhancement consists of creating a composite image (fused image) from different sources. The objective of this project consists of acquiring images from Electro-Optical sensors and Infrared (IR) sensors in low light conditions, to enhance them, to combine (fuse) them in order to create an image of better quality. To do so, the project will […]

Water-Safe UV Curable Antimicrobials Nanoscale coatings for Plastics

Our research is focused on finding new ways to combat the spread of Hospital acquired infections (HAI’s) in hospitals and other institutional work places. Our research combines a new non-leaching chemical nanotechnology that forms a protective barrier to difficult surfaces and kills bacteria on contact. The nanocoatings are water based and fix readily to surfaces […]
