Enhanced Obstacle Avoidance System for Parcelcopters in Dynamic Environments
Research Group:
Engineering
With the advancement in Industry 4.0, new technologies like parcelcopters, unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV) and drones are continuously being launched for different Internet of Things (IoT) applications. Read more
Air-Dis: Development of portable air disinfection systems
Research Group:
Engineering
Indoor air quality (IAQ) is a key parameter for general health and wellbeing, with the impact of airborne transfer of respiratory pathogens highlighted by the COVID-19 pandemic. Poor IAQ is a global issue, but in particular the WHO report that 40% of 3.2 million annual IAQ related deaths are linked to respiratory infections and chronic obstructive (COPD) [1]. Read more
NECESSARY (Net zEro CEments for Soil Stabilisation via wAste RecoverY)
Research Group:
Architecture, Built Environment and Planning
This is an exciting opportunity to work on an industrial PhD research project at Ulster University with the UK’s leading specialist in ‘deep soil mixing’ (DSM) ground improvement, Deep Soil Mixing Ltd. Read more
Wastewater sludge to hydrogen via direct biogenic electrolysis
Research Group:
Architecture, Built Environment and Planning
Wastewater sludge is the by-product of wastewater treatment plants. Currently, 13.5 million tonnes of dry sludge are produced in Europe annually, 1.5 million tonnes in the UK, and further increase has been projected with population growth. Read more
Design of wearable electrochemical sensor systems for monitoring the well being of ostomy patients
