Zero-Carbon to Carbon-Negative Infrastructure
Brief Description
Concrete manufacturing is an energy-intensive process, resulting in significant amounts of GHG/CO2 being released into the atmosphere. The use of a variety of technologies designed to lower these emissions, including supplementary cementitious materials (SCM) (e.g., fly ash, slag, silica fume, and other products), lowering kiln operational...

Energy Fishing using Moving Wind Turbine System
Brief Description
Offshore wind turbines are typically fixed devices anchored to the seabed by a foundation. The advantages of a floating offshore system (economic, reusable, deeper water depths) as compared to fixed structures have resulted in increased interest in floating technologies. The major type of floating wind systems in use today are semisubmersible...

Distributed Space Computing Framework
Brief Description
Satellites are essential to global communications systems because they can receive and transmit a wide range of data and information. Since they operate in space, satellites can communicate and collect data virtually anywhere without being hindered by terrestrial coverage limitations. Thus, they can cover large sections of the Earth’s...

Automatic Aortic Aneurysm Detection System through Deep-Learning
Brief Description
An aortic aneurysm is a bulge that occurs in the aorta wall, which carries blood from the heart to the rest of the body. In 2019, aortic aneurysms caused more than 9,000 deaths, with about 60% affecting men. Smoking accounts for the condition's leading risk factor and leads to 75% of all aortic aneurysms. Unfortunately, current...
