Recovery of Hydrophobic Particles by Agglomeration with Emulsions

Project Description The conventional technology for recovery of valuable hydrophobic particles from aqueous suspension is froth flotation, where air bubbles rising through the suspension capture the particles and are collected in a froth layer at the top. However, froth flotation is not effective for particles smaller than about 10 microns...

Arctic Exploration - Electrical System

Project Description Working on a project funded through the NSF designing and prototyping a robotic arm that is able to attach to a research drone used to collect samples from ice floes in the Arctic that are too soft for researchers to walk on. This person will work with a...

Furthering the Understanding Dissolved Organic Matter from Diverse Ecosystems

Project Description The carbon cycle controls all life on earth, yet we still lack a complete understanding of the largest reactive organic carbon pool on the planet, dissolved organic matter (DOM). Important ecosystem functions rely and depend on DOM as it controls nutrient availability, light attenuation, microbial respiration, and contaminant...

Engineering for Social Justice, Literature Lead

Project Description We are looking for a student to aid in understanding the career pathways of global engineering students and building a research base on the education of these students. This study hopes to unearth some of the structures in global engineering and development that are both preventing and aiding...

Protecting Temperature-Sensitive Ecosystems from Heat Pollution by Groundwater

Project Description Geothermal energy systems (GES) use groundwater as a source or sink of heat for heating or cooling. Groundwater is extracted from an aquifer, passed through a heat exchanger, and returned to the aquifer at a temperature that is warmer (if used for cooling) or cooler (if used for...

Printed Biodegradable Batteries for Soil Sensing

Project Description Inefficiencies in resource distribution in agriculture caused by spatial variability in soil composition can be addressed by tailored soil and crop management in heterogeneous fields. However, current state-of-the-art sensors are typically expensive and labor-intensive to install/uninstall, thereby restricting the high-density deployment required for high spatial resolution measurements. Our...
