Project 1: Application of nanotubes and nano particles

• Outline:
  The goal of the study is to examine the impact damage resistance of composite panels with various forms of nanofiller reinforcement. The nanofillers to be studied include 0D (Fullerene), 1D (Carbon nanotude) and 2D (Graphene, MoS2, WS2) geometries.

Project 2: Electromicrobiology

• Outline: 
  There is an emerging field of "electromicrobiology", which includes the components and mechanisms of extracellular electron transfer by microorganisms. Conductive bacterial nanowires provide microbially influences in many situations ranging from corrosion to the persistence of opportunistic pathogenic biofilms associated with cystic fibrosis. Presence, abundance and significance of these "electric cable bacteria" in regions water supply will be investigated.

Project 3: Characterization of Grain Growth using Electron Microscopy

• Outline: 
  Understanding grain growth, structure and texture in metals is important for applications in structural materials in high temperature applications.  Using electron microscopy students will measure grain size and perform electron backscatter diffraction analysis to understand how grain texture and size evolves over time.

Project 4: Intracranial Pressure Monitoring Simulator

• Outline: 
  The goal of this project is to develop a bench top system which can be used to simulate changes in intracranial pressure. The simulator will be used to test a novel implantable pressure sensor. The simulator must closely represent the in vivo environment so that it accurately predicts the clinical performance of the sensors.
