Mechanical Design for Volumetric 3D Printing

Project Description Volumetric Additive Manufacturing (VAM) is the latest and greatest 3D printing technology that is bringing science fiction 3D printing to life! By projecting images into a volume of liquid material at different angles, an accumulation of energy builds within the material. When the energy accumulation in a region...

Sensor Array to Study Seed Germination and Soil Carbon Sequestration

Project Description The BEEM Lab is currently developing novel techniques to improve space farming and crop germination in microgravity environments. We are seeking an undergraduate researcher to assist with experiment preparation, material fabrication, and constructing a system for seed germination data collection. The student would also help to develop an...

Modelling Pilot's Perception of Orientation: Data Collection and Analytics

Project Description The overarching project seeks to model how we perceive our orientation and motion in our world. In order to do this, we will be taking data from human subjects. We will be using motion devices in the Bioastronautics laboratory to move subjects around while we ask them what...

Project Description Our group is developing a smart flexible bracelet that can be worn by patients and collect data to monitor health conditions. The goal of this project is to develop a scalable approach to design and fabricate flexible circuit that meets the requirements of this bracelet. The DLA student...

Smartphone App for Bluetooth Data Collection and Analysis of a Smart Bracelet

Project Description Our group is developing a smart flexible bracelet that can be worn by patients and collect data to monitor health conditions. The goal of this project is to develop a smartphone app that can collect data from the bracelet via Bluetooth, conduct some analysis of the data, and...

Gradient Flow Approach for Generative Adversarial Networks

Project Description Generative adversarial networks (GANs) have become the state of the art of unsupervised learning, bringing significant improvements to artificial intelligence applications. However, the GAN algorithm does not often converge and there is no well-developed theoretical framework for the study of its convergence. In this project, we will develop...

TeachEngineering Video Team - Film Production

Project Description The TeachEngineering Video Production team is a small group of students who produce educational videos that demonstrate how to perform hands-on STEM activities (with a focus on engineering) for K-12 teachers. These videos provide step-by-step design solutions to engineering challenges by problem solving and cycling through the design...

Creating an Interface between Plants Sensing and Electronics

Project Description We are looking for a highly motivated student with a strong background in electrical engineering to develop integrated circuits for measuring and recording electronic signals that are directly correlated to bio-signals. Our lab is developing novel sensors in the form of novel organic electrochemical transistors (OECTs) to determine...

Precision Agriculture with Networks of Degradable Analytical Sensors (PANDAS)

Project Description We are looking for a highly motivated student with a strong background in electrical engineering. Our lab is developing biodegradable soil moisture and nitrate sensors using novel materials including those often overlooked in electronics such as waxes and woods. For this project, the student will design and fabricate...

Thermal Radiation and Energy Transport at the Nanoscale

Project Description This research project aims to study thermal energy transport and conversion at the nanoscale, which is critical to the development of new thermal management and renewable energy technologies with high performance. The DLA student will team with a PhD graduate student and work on both the theoretical and...
