MicroEra is a heat energy storage company that has had reduced efficiency in their storage tanks due to phase separation of phase change materials. Our project aims to improve the efficiency by adding a mixing system to the heat storage units.

Controlled, rapid-cooling chamber for initiated chemical vapor deposition of thin film polymers.

Enable self-sustaining biochar production by reclamation of process by-products.

Create building materials for developing countries from waste plastic and biochar, and compare to concrete standard.

In this project, we want to apply DSC and machine learning techniques to identify and analyze group communication and interaction patterns from the data collected, e.g. “Who interacts with whom” and “Who attended which breakout sessions”, which can function as an indicator of team performance, group intelligence and meeting efficiency. We can further use the information to increase the productivity of Un-meetings by modifying related elements.

Shoes wear differently with time, environment, and use. Shoe owners want to know how long their shoes are going to last. Shoe manufacturers need to have machines that can test footwear in an accelerated manner to simulate how shoes wear in order to produce an optimized product. The shoe testing team is tasked with creating such a device that is capable of producing wear on a shoe.

Pianosaic is an augmented reality experience in which players get to create musical environments with a larger than life piano. Players are immersed in accurately spatialized audio. Players are able to use the keys of the piano around to create an individualize experience. Players are able to create a full production utilizing accompanying instruments in the game.

Wegmans grocery stores experience changes in consumer demand due to weather-related events which may result in item shortages. Our goal was to generate a list of items that are expected to have a huge increase in sales which would allow Wegmans to prepare beforehand. We correlated the change in consumer demand over time with weather warning data and detected anomalous behaviors in item sales.

Test and identify novel gasket polymers to extend operation of Ugandan Water Project-installed India Mark II handpumps serving millions of people fresh, clean water.
