Fluorous Gated Field-Effect Transistor Sensors for PFAS Detection
Fluorous-interface gated field-effect transistor (FET) sensors provide a portable platform for real-time detection of PFAS and related fluorinated compounds in water. An extended-gate interface converts fluorous interactions into electrical signals, with an optional F-PANI configuration that adds an optical response for cross-verification. The platform...

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...

The Rowan Digital Cancellation Test (RDCT): A method for detecting cognitive impairment
Brief Description
Worldwide, over 50 million people live with a disease that causes long-term memory loss. By 2050, this number is projected to almost triple to 130 million. Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is the most common form of dementia leading to long-term memory deficiency, afflicting over 17 million adults over the age of 65. Also, it’s...

Absorbance-Coupled Voltage Control of Electrospray Ionization
Brief Description
Mass spectrometry (MS) is a widely used research tool for determining the exact molecular weight of particles within a sample. It separates electrically charged ions within a gas phase that are subsequently transferred into a mass analyzer, sorted in space or time according to their mass-to-charge ratios. Although there have been...

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...

Injectable Hydrogels with Independent Control over Physical Properties and Bioactive Peptide Functionalization
Brief Description
Osteoporosis is the most common bone disease that causes low bone mass, bone tissue deterioration, and bone microarchitecture disruption, leading to compromised bone strength and an increased risk of fractures. More than 200 million people have osteoporosis globally, and about 30% of women and 20% of men over 50 will experience an...

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...
