An AVID Project: Scientific Programming

Feb. 15, 2022

Project Description Very Low Frequency (VLF) radio waves can be used to understand the Earth’s ionosphere, a region of energetic charged particles and plasma that forms the boundary between the atmosphere and space proper. Our lab is completing the redesign of our VLF receivers in order to deploy an Array...

Ultraviolet (UV) Light Technology for Microbe and Biofilm Disinfection

Project Description UV light is an exciting alternative to chlorine for disinfection of water. This research will use ultraviolet (UV) light technology for disinfection purposes, particularly for control of microbial growth and biofilm development in water distribution systems. The impact of UV light on microorganisms will be studied through microbiological...

SynBioHub3 - An Interactive Genetic Design Repository

Project Description The goal of this project is to improve the performance, capacity, usability, and scalability of SynBioHub, a next-generation repository for managing synthetic biology projects. SynBioHub3 will store designs for engineered biological systems, information about plans and protocols for the construction and experimentation on these designs, the experimental data...

Building a Legacy in Engineering

Project Description The Building Legacy in Engineering research project will take an inter-institution approach to create an authentic and scalable inquiry-based, active learning environment focused on sustainable civic innovation. This project is designed to document and validate the approach to be replicated by other university partnerships to strengthen communities. The...

Investigation of Honey Bee Behavior Mechanics

Project Description Western honey bee behavior and communication has been a subject of study for hundreds of years, yet much remains unknown about how they coordinate with each other to succeed as a colony without a central leader. In the Peleg lab, we investigate how they accomplish tasks such as...

Investigating the Effects of Wildfires in Indoor Air Quality

Project Description The Vance Lab at the Â鶹ӰԺ specializes in indoor and outdoor air quality investigations, with a special focus on aerosols or particulate matter (PM). PM can range from a few nanometers to micrometers in size and can be generated from a variety of sources, from...

Global Positioning System (GPS) Software Defined Radios (SDRs) Research

Project Description Software Defined Radios are an ever increasing popular topic. The advent of low cost USB radio dongles such as the USRP and BladeRF as well as tools such as GNU radio have allowed for radio development to move into the software domain. GPS is a satellite-based navigation system...

GPS and Positioning/Navigation in the Mobile Phones

Project Description This project is to explore and exploit the satellite navigation / position engine / GPS within Android. Ideally making end result more more robust with higher integrity. The Android platform provides the majority of GPS/GNSS receivers across the world. Its integration within Android is interesting and many many...

Development of a Superconducting Microwave Resonator Open-Source Codebase

Project Description The Â鶹ӰԺ Cryogenic Quantum Testbed (BCQT) is a research facility for developing and openly disseminating standard protocols to reproducibly measure the quality factor and performance characteristics of superconducting microwave resonators used in quantum computing circuits.The BCQT serves as a resource to academic and industry quantum research groups that...
